Iβm looking for an authentic Portuguese Sweet Bread recipe, please! When I was 5 years old I used to help my grandmother, who came from the Azores, knead her homemade Portuguese Sweet Bread. It was one of my most favorite treats.
She passed away and no one from my family seems to have the recipe and the ones I see online Iβm unsure of the authenticity.
This bread holds so many cherished memories for me and Iβd love to make some to share with my fiancΓ© and to remember my grandmother. Thank you to anyone who has a recipe they can share!
My wife and her family typically make Massa on Good Friday but this year due to Covid, her undergrad exams and me taking on a part time job, I let the whole thing slip through the cracks.
I contacted Bread-Man but they are out. Does anyone know of a source of Massa in this city? I'd try to get the supplies to make some but I have a compromised respiratory system... And I find it unlikely that I'll be able to get yeast and some other ingredients due to the mix of panic buying and the holidays...
I'd appreciate any ideas/leads you might have.
Trying to find fresh bread, used to get in Fall River but looking for some place closer to Boston
As many do, I can't help but love hawaiian bread. When I'm referring to Hawaiian Bread, however, my only frame of reference is the orange packages of rolls, sandwich bread, and buns all made by the same company (you know who I'm talking about).
I started randomly wondering about Hawaiian bread today, and that I'm probably being duped into buying garden variety white bread with added sugar. I started doing some snooping online and found less than I had hoped for.
What I did find, however, was "Portuguese sweet bread", which is a bread with a sweet flavor commonly eaten in Hawaii and New England.
My questions for /r/askculinary are as follows:
-
Well, what is it? What process or ingredient makes the bread fit the checklist for being "Hawaiian" bread?
-
Is "Hawaiian Bread" just a marketing gimmick to sell Portuguese sweet bread, or am I completely off base? That's what my reading between the lines of the relevant wiki articles seems to indicate, and now I'm wondering if the term "Hawaiian bread" was just a marketing construct.
-
Though this answer will likely be covered in the answer to question no. 1, is what I know as "Hawaiian" bread simply white bread with added sugar?
Any elucidations would be appreciated.
Will anywhere in New Haven sell the Easter version of Portuguese sweet bread (the kind with hard-boiled eggs in it)?
The rest of the year, I get by with Stop & Shop's Puerto Rican sweet bread (pan sabao) and Hawaiian bread. Is the good stuff available closer than Fall River, MA?
