Mark Sinclair's Portuguese Sweet Bread
- What's a portuguese roll?
- Ohhhhhhhh, it's verrrrrrrry good.
So said Michael Stern during the April 4th episode of The Splendid Table.
They're mildly sweet with a touch of honey but don't taste "eggy" or like cake. The dough is a joy to work with and makes your kitchen smell wonderful as the buns are baking. I enjoy having them lightly toasted with a bit of jam, or just plain. I've heard they make excellent french toast, pulled pork sandwiches, or bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches too. They're simply excellent - in fact, someone told me it was even his/her new favourite bread.
These have been a huge hit among other Fresh Loafers and I couldn't agree more. :D
Thanks for sharing this recipe, Mark!

I never made this kind of bread (or rolls), but yours look very nice and yummy.

Truth is, I've come to like making rolls, partly because when I bring them to work the next day, everyone can grab one instead of leaving crumbs from slices all over the lunchroom and partly because I loved how these rolls looked based on Howard's post and the tutorial videos on Mark's bakery homepage.
I'll say - you've been baking some gorgeous and super delicious looking breads! Glad to hear those little méteils au bleu turned out so well in the end!
i'm convinced, have put in my to-do list.
Let me know how it goes! You're going to be very pleased with them.
My F I L loves them. They were just what he remembered from his Navy days.

your father-in-law is very lucky to have such an enthusiastic baker to make baked goods for him. :)
Thank you, but you know we bakers secretly just love to bake something for someone else. It just gives us another reason to bake even more. HHmmmm. I could take a loaf or two to that old lady that moved down the street! ; )
