Notes: - This recipe makes about 70 small cheese rolls.
- Tapioca starch can be found in Asian grocery stores. It comes in a clear plastic bag and the standard pack has 450 grams.
- If you want a stronger cheese taste, you can substitue a 1/4th or 1/2 cup of asiago cheese - or mozzarella for a milder taste
- Brazilians usually knead the dough by hand. Its really hard work. I prefer to use a mixer to knead the dough.
- Pćo de queijo can be served as an appetizer or snack.
- Pćo de queijo can be frozen and baked directly from the freezer. Tip: Place the cheese rolls on a tray lined with baking paper. Put the tray in the freezer. When the cheese rolls are frozen, put them in a plastic bag and put them back in the freezer.
- You can find "pćo de queijo" mix (Yoki) in Brazilian supermarkets. It's very practical and convenient for those people who don't have time or don't like cooking.
- Pćo de queijo is gluten-free.
