is there a preference on what type of milk?
How can I get my hands to stop sticking? I tried oil and it worked but then my hands go stuck again. I also tried water and the same thing happened.
If you find that the dough is too sticky to roll into balls, add more shredded parmesan cheese. This helps so that you can then form the balls. I add way more parmesan cheese than this recipe recommends for that reason and I now have no problem forming the balls with my hands. Don't make the same mistake I did by adding more flour. It just made them very dry. Add more cheese instead. You're welcome haha.
Makes sure you dont mix up saying pão and pao.
😂😂instead of salt I put sugar in it 😅😁😁
This was a great video ❤

Thanks for sharing this recipe. It's spot on! I've tried several in the past few years and they don't come close to this tasting like Fogo.
Too much oil….30 ml is enough
You can put chorizo inside, it's delicious
These came out perfect 😫🫶
I had to add more tapioca because once I added the egg it was really sticky
I tried to make, but it didn’t work.. why?
I'm a fan of Fogo de Chão and their pan de queso! After watching your recipe and having the ingredients I push myself to do it and Violà … they were amazing!!! thank you so much for the recipe!!! my family and me love it ❤️😋
I don’t understand. Sometimes it comes out wonderful, sometimes runny,where you can’t pitch it into a ball. It’s very sticky. I follow it directly. The only thing I can think of is egg? Once I put egg it gets to runny and doesn’t hold. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. What would it taste like if I didn’t add the egg?
thank you so much. I have company that has been to Brazil and I will make this for them this Saturday!
For noob bakers like me, I don't think you should boil the milk and oil too hot because I ended up with a really clumpy and wet batter instead of a smooth sticky one!
Q: What would happen if I used…. rice flour.. ? 😳
Se puede cambiar la leche por alguna libre de lactosa?
This bread was sooooooo good quick and easy to make THANK YOU for the great recipe. The only tiny issue I had was that the dough wasn't firm enough to roll into a ball, to remedy this I freeze the dough slightly, add more flour to the mixture, or I use an ice cream scooper to shape the soft dough.
do you have to use topico flour?
Can I use almond milk instead of regular milk?
Soooo delicious. I used water instead of milk, no difference. And added sesame seeds 😍
Tip, if the dough is to sticky or shape or knead into balls. Wait 20 mins for it dry and wet you hands with cold water before handling the dough.
To ppl who are making this but don't have a pot or smthn
You can heat up the milk and oil in a microwave, it just takes longer
I kind off had a problem maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong… at the end where im supposed to form the balls it was to sticky and was flowing out off its shape and I don’t now if it was right that I put so much more flour till its was like bred just a more like dough then shown in the video…. Did I just master to destroy such a easy rezepte…
O
This bread looks so delicious…
Best reception from all, thank you 🙏
Look easy, thank you so much
my Brazilian friend gave me this yesterday and I'm in loveeeee
Is there substitute for eggs
Can i use plain flour?
Hola, he hecho esta receta en dos oportunidades y me salen súper ricas, a todos en la familia les encanta. Gracias
This works if you half the amount of liquid, 40ml oil & 80ml of milk. Using the recipe the mixture is way too runny and it won't rise, the ball will continue to flatten in the oven.
Hi! I would like to know if can I use wheat flour instead tapioca flour, please let me know these bread look so yummy! thank you.
I made this, but didn’t like the texture of the tapioca flour. Can regular flour be used?
Perfect! Thank you
