Pão de queijo with celeriac mascarpone cream and prosciutto

Pao de quejio is one of my favorite snack after-school. In Macau we usually use glutinous rice flour instead of tapioca (similar to Japanese mochi cheese bread), and the flavour from the cheese is more subtle. Personally I like bold flavours, so this recipe sticks with loads of a rippen cheese – Parmesan as many Brazilian recipes suggested.

Hi Sandy Iain here I wanted to make Pao de Queijo a few months ago but I couldn’t find any tapioca flour ( tapioca starch I think it’s the same just different name ) where can I buy some ? I almost bought arrowroot flour/starch but decided against that. Thanks Iain
Hey Iain! I usually brought mine in the closest Chinese grocery store. I also saw that they sell it online on souschef.co.uk 🙂 Hope this helps!
Hi,
I bought my online from Amazon and did Sandy’s recipe which was amazing! ?
