Pão de queijo, a beloved Brazilian cheese bread, has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Originating in the state of Minas Gerais, this iconic dish was created by African slaves using cassava flour and cheese. Over time, it evolved into the gluten-free, cheesy delight we know today. Renowned chefs like Ana Luiza Trajano have elevated the traditional recipe, while restaurants like Casa do Pão de Queijo in São Paulo have popularized it worldwide. The key to perfect pão de queijo lies in the quality of cheese and the texture of the dough. For an alternative twist, some recipes use sour tapioca starch for a tangy flavor. Today, the best pão de queijo can be found in the heart of Brazil, where it's a staple in every bakery and household.
