Options Parmesan - An extra 1/4 or ½ cup of parmesan cheese can be added to the dough mixture or sprinkled on top for a more cheesy flavour.

Guava Paste - You can add a small piece of our Predilecta guava paste to the centre or the top of each ball (in dough form) before baking them in a mini-muffin tray for a taste sensation enjoyed throughout Brazil.

Extra Cheese - Put a piece of your favourite cheese in the middle of the cheese bread balls & bake in a mini-muffin tray for an awesome “cheesy” bite.

Oregano - can be also added to the dough mix for extra flavour.

Many other variations can be explored such as dipping sauces for the bread.
