Cheese Bread

Cheese Bread, also known as pão de queijo or pan de queso, is a popular baked snack that can either be enjoyed as a standalone treat, or accompany various dishes with its rich, savory flavor. Traditionally made with a mix of cheese, flour, butter, milk, and eggs, cheese bread is both soft and crispy on the outside and deliciously cheesy on the inside, making it a highly satisfying snack for cheese lovers. Cheese bread can be found in various regional cuisines, with Latin American and Brazilian styles being the most well-known. Given its simple ingredients and straightforward preparation process, cheese bread is easily adapted to the home kitchen and can be made using different types of cheese or even gluten-free flour for a personalized creation. Its versatility also lends itself to being paired with soups, hearty salads, and pasta dishes as a mealtime complement.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Cheese Bread expire?
Unopened store-bought cheese bread can last for 2-3 days past the sell-by date if kept at room temperature, and up to a week if refrigerated. Once opened, it's best consumed within 2-3 days when stored at room temperature, and within a week if refrigerated. Homemade cheese bread, on the other hand, should ideally be consumed on the same day it was baked, but can last for up to 2 days at room temperature and up to a week if refrigerated. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
How do you tell if Cheese Bread is bad?
Cheese bread will typically go stale before it becomes unsafe to eat. The first sign that cheese bread has gone bad is if it has become notably hard and dry. Other signs include a sour smell, or mold - which can be black, green or white spots on the bread. In case of any of these signs, it's best to discard the bread.
Tips for storing Cheese Bread to extend shelf life
• Store cheese bread in a cool, dry place - in an airtight container or bread box is ideal. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture and accelerate mold growth. • Refrigerate cheese bread if you need to store it for more than a few days. But be sure to bring it to room temperature before eating, as refrigeration can affect the texture. • Freezing is the best long-term storage solution for cheese bread. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. • To defrost, leave it at room temperature for few hours or reheat in an oven at a low temperature for a few minutes to restore its crispy exterior and soft interior.
