Brazilian Cheese Bread in the Airfryer – Quick, Easy, and Delicious
Brazilian cheese bread (pão de queijo) is one of the most iconic symbols of Brazilian cuisine, and there’s nothing more comforting than making this treat at home. Now, imagine preparing it in a quick and hassle-free way using an Airfryer! In this post, you'll learn a detailed step-by-step process to make irresistible cheese breads that are always fresh.
Ingredients:
- 250g of tapioca starch (you can mix both sour and sweet starch for an even better result)
- 150g of grated cheese (parmesan, semi-cured cheese, or a mix of both)
- 1 egg
- 100ml of milk
- 50ml of oil
- A pinch of salt (adjust depending on the type of cheese, as some are already salty)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix the tapioca starch with the grated cheese.
- Add the egg, milk, and oil.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and start mixing with your hands. The dough should be smooth, slightly sticky, but easy to shape.
Shape the Cheese Breads
- Take small portions of dough and shape them into balls about the size of a walnut, or as you prefer.
- Tip: If the dough is too sticky, lightly grease your hands with oil to make it easier.
Preheat the Airfryer
- Preheat the Airfryer for 5 minutes at 180°C (356°F) before adding the cheese breads. This helps ensure even cooking.
Bake the Cheese Breads
- Place the dough balls into the Airfryer basket, leaving space between them to allow for expansion.
- Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on the outside.
Finish and Serve
- Remove the cheese breads from the Airfryer and serve immediately while they're warm and soft inside.
Extra Tip:
For an extra flavor boost, try adding fine herbs or small chunks of additional cheese inside the dough balls before baking.

Making cheese bread in the Airfryer is the perfect way to enjoy this treat fresh and without complications. It's ideal for breakfast, afternoon snacks, or any time you want a comforting bite. Try this recipe and impress your friends and family with homemade cheese bread!
