ISO Portuguese cornbread (not sweet)
I believe that bread I'm looking for is called broa de milho. It is quite crusty on the outside but very moist inside with a dense almost white coloured crumb.
In the thread entitled 'looking for a recipe for Portugese Bread', pumpkinpapa posted a recipe for Broa [1]. I tried replying in that thread but foolishly put the reply deep inside the thread to ensure that it would surely get lost. I hope it's okay that I am reposting my questions.
- Is the cornmeal yellow or white?
- Is the resulting bread quite dense and moist?
- I don't suppose you have a photo of the crust and the crumb, pumpkinpapa?
Many thanks!

P.S. A while back, I tried making Portuguese Cornmeal White Bread (Pao A Moda De Sao Miguel) from Gourmet 2000 [2] but it wasn't quite right. The bread was good, just not what I was hoping for.
