Chef John's Pão de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread)
Brazilian cheese bread is very easy to make and features a chewy, cheesy, bready center encased in a beautiful, thin pastry crust. It is gluten-free, thanks to tapioca flour, which is also responsible for its unique texture. Happily, the ingredients are relatively inexpensive, so you can play around with a few batches and see for yourself.
My Kid's Favorite Zucchini Bread
This zucchini bread recipe is delicious and moist — it's a great way to use up all the zucchini your garden produces. Shred the zucchini first, and let it sit in a colander to drain while putting the other ingredients together. I use very large zucchini from my garden and cut out all the seeds. Use any leftover shredded zucchini to make fritters.
