Here's How to Make Brazillian Cheese Bread!
The easiest way to make this delicious bread is the blender method. First, preheat the oven to 400. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and pulse until a batter is formed. Next, grease a muffin tin. You can use a regular size tin or a mini muffin tin for a fun bite-sized version. Pour batter into each space until a little over halfway full. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the outside of the rolls are puffed and golden. This bread is best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.
