Great buy, would recommend to bake for 6min at 350F, then change to broiler (set to max temp) for 3min.

Initially, I was baking these until they browned, and they were chewy and OK but not as good as the pao de queso I gobbled up in Brazil. Then I baked 3 frozen balls in a toaster oven for the minimum time, and they were warmed completely but still golden and not browned. These were so much better–light and fragrant. The tapioca flour does give them a chewier bite than wheat flour would.

IMO, the instructions are not correct. It calls for 6 to 8 minutes of baking time at 350F but that is not enough and the end result is undercooked cheese breads. I baked them for 14 minutes at 350F and then broiled for another 5 minutes and they tasted much much better.
Per instructions, I would say it’s only 2 stars. With extra baking time, I would rate it as 5 stars

These aren’t really Brazilian cheese bread…they’re just bread with a tiny hint of cheese. You’re just buying slightly more expensive rolls. Brazi bites are far far superior and they cost about the same.

Among the cheese breads available in Boston area this one is not too bad.
The cheese taste is good, the baking time is a little tricky.
PLEASE, remove the white pepper from the recipe! Than kids will eat them as well.
I come from the region in Brazil where this kind of bread is well known and everyone has a different recipe, but none of them has pepper.

3.5 stars. Baking instructions wrong! They were half baked and cold inside. I went up to 365 for an extra 5 mins and it was much better. It took a few bites to get used to the taste and texture. This has too little cheese to be called cheese bread though. It’s like mochi with cheese TASTE but you don’t see any melted cheese. Can’t say if it’s worth buying. Don’t think I’ll return it though. I’ll just eat when nothing else is available
