Portuguese sweet bread

Portuguese sweet bread

Portuguese sweet bread ("Massa Sovada" or simply "Massa", "Pão Doce" and the Easter version with eggs is better known as Folar) is a bread made with milk, sugar and/or honey to produce a subtly sweet lightly textured loaf. It was traditionally made around the Christmas and Easter holidays (often with hard boiled eggs baked into the loaves for the latter holiday) as a round-shaped loaf, but today it is made and available year round. The bread is usually served simply with butter and is sometimes eaten with meals (breakfast in particular), but often as a dessert.Portuguese sweet bread is common in both
Hawaiian cuisine and New England cuisine as it was brought to those regions by their large Portuguese immigrant populations.
