Anyway, they also have a selection of breads. The first trip I was there, I wasn't not able to eat much that morning, but I grabbed a few what I thought to be rolls to nibble on and hopefully settle my stomach a bit.
O.M.G.
It wasn't a roll like you think. The crumb was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. And the inside? Fully of cheese, dough-y goodness. My immediate thought was, "I must make these."
I did a bit of research about how, but didn't want to shell out mass money for some kind of flour that I wasn't really going to use. So, I didn't really bother looking for it. I thought it might be like masa that you have to buy in pounds. That's why I haven't made anything with that either. I have enough flours...I wish they sold smaller backs like do our regular all-purpose flour.
Anyway, it wasn't until I received my last Foodie Penpals box did I have the opportunity to make these gems. I received arrowroot flour in the box. YES! And then, #SundaySupper announced global street food and... YES! No doubts what I'm going to make for that one...Pão De Queijo!! DUH!
They're usually made with sour cassava flour. I couldn't find any when I went to Carulla. There's not really a "baking" aisle like we have? At least not at that one. I'm sure there's another grocery story, but I can't leave my bubble without adult supervision. So, I'll have to wait until someone who can speak Spanish better than I can help me find it.
*sigh* Yes. I know I need to work on my Spanish with the FREE Rosetta stone I get. In fact, I may just do that some today. Or I may just nap. LOL
Okay...about Brazil
- Brazil shares a border with all South American countries except for Chile and Ecuador.
- Brazil was given to Portugal as part of the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 and the first person to officially claim Brazil for Portugal was Pedro Álvares Cabral.
- The Amazon River flows through Brazil, it is the 2nd longest river in the world (after the Nile).
- Around 60% of the Amazon Rainforest is located in Brazil.
- Brazil has one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, the Christ Redeemer statue, located in Rio De Janeiro.
- The state of Minas Gerais is famous for its abundance of gorgeous emeralds, aquamarines, topazes and other beautiful gems.
- There is not an exact single "national Brazilian cuisine", but there is an assortment of various regional traditions and typical dishes.
These, to me at least, are similar to a popover type flavor but the dough is more like a...almost a pate choux? They were interesting to make and tasted yummy! I combined cottage cheese with parmesan cheese. Most recipes I found used Parm, but when I got into the weeds a few referred to cottage cheese. So, I combined the two!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
