  • For the dough: In a pot over medium heat heat milk and oil for 3 minutes. Milk must be hot, not boiling hot.
  • Using a wooden spoon mix yuca flour, salt, and white pepper in a large bowl. Add hot milk and oil little by little and stir with the spoon. Flour must absorb the liquid.
  • Add cheeses and mix again. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix until a homogenous mixture is obtained. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 356 °F.
  • For the Brazilian cheese bread: Grease your hands with a bit of oil and make dough balls of about 1.4 ounces. Place them on a tray with wax paper leaving about an inch between each ball. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Serve Brazilian cheese bread right out of the oven.
