Ingredients:

  • pao doce (portuguese sweet bread) from: hawaiian electric company
  • 2 package active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 8 to 10 cups flour
  • bread machine portuguese sweet bread
  • original recipe yield 1 1/2 lb loaf
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp margarine
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

Directions:

  1. Dissolve yeast in potato water. Stir in the 3 tablespoons sugar, potatoes and ginger. Cover; let rise until doubled. Scald milk; add salt and cool to lukewarm. In small bowl of electric mixer, beat eggs; gradually beat in the 1 3/4 cups sugar. Stir into yeast mixture. Add butter and mix well. Stir in 2 cups of the flour, then milk. Add 2 more cups of the flour; beat 5 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Place on lightly floured board and knead int remaining flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning in grease top. Cover; let rise until doubled.
  2. Grease four 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pans. On a lightly floured board, divide dough into fourths. Shape each fourth into a loaf; place in prepared pans. Cover; let rise until doubled. Preheat electric oven to 325 degrees F. Bake for 45 minutes or until done.
  3. Makes 4 loaves.
  4. BREAD MACHINE PORTUGUESE SWEET BREAD
  5. Add the ingredients and set it to the dough cycle. Then put the dough in a loaf pan and bake at 350° for 20 minutes, turning half way through. It comes out absolutely gorgeous.
  6. I have made this with skim milk, whole milk, and half and half, it comes out tasty every time. Try butter instead of margarine. Red Star bread machine yeast results were better than with regular yeast. The difference is a bigger fluffier loaf of bread.
