- Happy 2016 everyone!
To celebrate the new year, I made this video for you. First But, here's a short story to tell you a bit of the background behind the bread.
As you may know, my mother is half-Hawaiian and half-Chinese. As a child I visited her parents (my grandparents) in Hawaii several times and have fond memories of the food we used to eat. Has a very Hawaii diverse culinary tradition, some was brought by the Polynesians nearly one thousand years ago, while much of i t came from the people who settled in the islands in the late 1700's and early 1800's.
The Portuguese influence still lives today in the musical instruments they brought (the machete, which became the ukulele) and their sweet breads (now called 'Hawaiian Sweet Bread ').
Eight years ago after seeing my videos, an amateur baker from Hawaii contacted me asking for my Portuguese Sweet Bread recipe. He said his grandmother used to make it, and the following week he was hoping to make it for a get-together at his house that they were having to mark the one year anniversary of when she had passed. I sent the recipe to him. Two weeks later he wrote back to me. He said he had made it and as the aroma filled his home, he started to cry. Later that day, when the rest of his family came to his home, before they had even entered the front door they did the same. Said it smelled They just as it did when their grandmother used to make it. :)
This Portuguese Sweet Bread recipe is my tribute to the Portuguese and was the first recipe I developed, about 20 ago years.
Enjoy ;)

My goodness you work so hard and such long hours. It must be exhausting but I can see how much care and love that you put into your products that you share with so many. Bravo!
Thank you very much for noticing!
And judging from the replies he's also a really lovely dude.
@@sinclairsbakery Mark i respect all of your hard work you have been doing with out your hard work and dedication there would be nothing keep up all of your hard work you have been doing and please don't stop keep going on I pick up a lot of things from you respect back to you from 🇨🇦 #YSW ❤️ 💪 😊
Your story brought tears to me. I am a baker of over 40 years now. I so appreciate your bench technique. I'm 66, and I remember working as hard as you do. God bless you, fellow dough head!
Thanks for your feedback and kind words Robert!
It’s always great to hear from a fellow baker. 👍🏼
Loves the sound of mixer , it makes me really alive
Yes, me too!
This guy really knows what he is doing, very skilled.
Thank you very much!
Aloha! So happy I found your video. My husband is Portuguese/Filipino mix & we live in Laupahoehoe. He’s been begging me to find a Portuguese Sweet Bread recipe. His family unfortunately didn’t pass it down & his dad not thinking covered their families Portuguese oven for a garage! So traumatic for everyone now. We’re actually going to be building one ourselves hopefully soon with bricks from the old sugar plantations. Thank you for sharing the recipe at the end! I was looking on how to reach you for it & then saw it in the credits! Hope you read this and thank you for sharing your ohana background. My fathers side is Hawaiian, Chinese & Korean & my mother is Haole Swedish/Scottish. It’s a blessing to have such a variety of cultures & their unique experiences. I’m currently on a journey of baking & cooking authentic recipes from my family on all sides. Have a Hongwongi cookbook from 1973 my dad had given me for Christmas in 2012 and a handwritten cookbook from my kids Great Aunty Lani who’s book I lost a long time ago. She is well known for her incredible food from pupus, main dishes, desserts, bread, everything when she lived in Utah. So excited to start making some & sharing with my ohana. Mahalo again & blessings to you & yours!
Mahalo for your kind words and all the best to you and your ohana ❤️

Must take a lifetime to have that sort of confidence moving the dough. Really awe inspiring to watch if you've ever tried to make your own bread yourself!
Thanks a lot, I'm glad that you are enjoying the videos!👍🏼
@@sinclairsbakery really a special UA-cam channel in my opinion. UA-cam should showcase this sort of talent and craftsmanship a lot more. Cheers for putting it out there mate. Really top notch content.
Thank you very much!
And is giving the recipe, that is something that no one gives out, I love work your work! amazing !!!
Thank you very much Natalie!
Perfection!! God Bless!!
Nice video. Am part Hawaiian, Portuguese, and Chinese. Sweet bread is so much a part of our island's food culture here in Hawaii! Mahalo for sharing.
I'm part Hawaiian and Chinese myself and you're right locals really do appreciate the sweet bread. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I WILL NEVER FEEL TIRED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO, VERY INSPRING.
GOD BLESS!
The story behind it touched my heart 😢❤️
I'm glad. :)
Happy 2016 to you, Mark. You just keep being awesome.
Thanks for all your help over the years, everything from your entries on The Fresh Loaf to your videos (old and new), recipes (again, old BHB ones & new) and Facebook posts & photos which have been truly useful and inspirational to help get me where I am now. I aspire to your precision and attention to detail and, of course, am crazy envious of your sweet, sweet rig.
Best to you for this year's baking and in life.
+Paul Aboud Thanks Paul! It makes me happy to hear of the ways that I've helped your development as a baker. That really means a lot. Keep up the great work and know that I very much value your kind words and support!
I love sweet breads! Many cultures have a sweet bread. That says people enjoy life.😁
I love them too Ana and I think you are right!
@@sinclairsbakery 💝💝💝
God bless you looks like u have it down to the T great job both my parents were Portuguese born in the islands came to Canada with us 4 kids in the 50s their both gone along with all uncle aunts etc but this like you do bring those memories alive myself I always make sweetbread and cook our foods want the kids never to forget where we came from Happiness to everyone and Health ❤️
Very good, Jezza! Happy baking and take care!
Das ist richtige Handarbeit und das brot hat Zeit zum gehn das ist kein Vergleich zu Industrie Bäckerei schade daß es so etwas bei uns hier nicht gibt so etwas ist richtig selten.Das ist First class😍
It’s amazing how many times you made the dough rest and how it never lost its strength. I can’t wait to try it. My family had an Italian bakery over 40 years ago and my dad made a Portuguese sweet bread that the dough rested overnight before baking, I never had anything to this day that was so good. I will let you know how I make out with your recipe. Thanks so much for the video. 👍🏻
Frank, I hope it comes out well for you and I also wish that when it is baking, it reminds you of your dad!
Be sure to let me know how it comes out!
markcsinclair, will certainly do so. Thank you again!!!
Nice story behind the bread. Had I not known about your Hawaiian background I would have presumed you were Samoan. Very talented
I'm glad you enjoyed the story and I hope you get a chance to make the bread! ;)
You're a master at your craft !
Thank you! :)
what an art...
Thank you Mark for sharing this recipe with us, as you know, many people don't want to share their secrets when it comes to "PORTUGUESE SWEETBREADS" here in Hawaii! As you know, Hawaii has such a tremendous love for the adapted "HAWAIIAN SWEETBREAD" I'm looking forward to making your recipe soon! Again, thanking for sharing your mana'o and culinary experience with us, and I'm hoping that mine will turn out looking and tasting as good as yours! Again, Mahalo Nui Loa!
Aloha! All I have to say is "YUM"!!!!! 😁 Mahalo for sharing.
thanks Mark, you are the best, i love your videos. all the best to your family.
Thank you very much Ikosan! ;)
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Very nice many regards to you from Egypt
Thank you very much Yasser and the same to you in Egypt!
Hello! First of all, congratulations on the quality of your videos. I share the same passion for the art of making (and eating) bread, and as a Portuguese I am proud of the heritage left by my compatriots wherever they went! About this specific recipe, I find many similarities with the current "Pão de Leite" (literally milk bread), still widely consumed today for breakfast. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Tomás. Although I currently live in Spain, I still haven't spent time in Portugal and sampled Pão de Leite or other Portuguese breads. One day I will make it over there; Spaniards speak highly of the food, culture and people.
What a technique to prepare the dough ❤️❤️❤️
All the bread must be magically of tasty 😋
Happy 2016 to the Master Baker. I just finished my dinner (I made Beef with Oyster Sauce and Broccoli Florets, except that I substituted Hard Tofu for the $$$ Beef to save money) After seeing your video, it took all of my restraint to keep from returning to the kitchen and attempting to make your Portuguese Sweet Bread!
+Sadko Well Sadko, tomorrow you have no excuse. Go into the kitchen and get busy with the Portuguese Sweet Bread!
Fantastic. No other words. 🍞🥐🥖😋
Thank you very much! :)
A great story, and the bread looks fantastic. I grew up on the south shore in Massachusetts and my dad would always get a special Portuguese sweet bread the week before Easter and give it out to family and friends. The shop has been there as long as I can remember, and it's new(er) owners still make the special Easter sweet bread to my knowledge. They say the recipe is the same thing they make all year; but it seems to be more flavorful at Easter. It's braided and baked with whole eggs (#eggs determines the size, up to six). The shop is Central Bakery in Cambridge, MA on Cambridge St. My absolute favorite sweet bread bakery, no one else comes close - (in LA I settle for Kings Hawaiian sweet bread). One of the few things I miss, and if you're ever in Boston it's ~10 minutes to Cambridge from downtown by train.
Next time I'm in Boston, I'll check it out. Thanks for your story too!
Большой трудяга!! Как он обращается с тестом!!!! Просто волшебник!
Большое спасибо!!!😉
I made these and they were great. Thank you.
Very glad to hear that! :)
Recipe please
Thank you !
What i miss most when i moved from Ct. to NC are the Portuguese rolls!!...OMG they were so good. They were a staple for sandwiches and straight up with butter 🤤
Well then you are just going to have to make some for yourself. ;)
Parabéns chef 👨🏼🍳 pelo seu trabalho 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🇺🇸 🇧🇷
Muito obrigado!!😉
Hi Mark happy new year and thank you for this tutorial ...
+Miguel Munoz Thank you Miguel and Happy New Year to you!

Very handsome Gentleman, indeed. Why do I find the nicest lads on UA-cam?
Thank you Misses!!! :)
Good job. You're talented. God bless you.
Thank you very much Salwa! ;)
New subscriber, love your work, so proud of you doing the hard work, good luck to you, Sir🙏
Thank you very much, your comment is especially appreciated considering your screen name ;)
IM even a newer subscriber
I used to make Portuguese Sweet bread a lot. Absolutely love it. Also love making Cornish Splits. I have a recipe for rolls that have been passed down for a few generations that uses a somewhat unusual ingredient that no one can ever guess when they eat them. They are a lot like Japanese Milk bread in consistency and have eggs, butter, sugar and milk with the addition of a special special ingredient. I would love to send it to you. Its a large recipe but I’m sure you would still have to adapt it to your own needs if you found you liked it. Let me know where I can send it.
That sounds great, thanks!

手捌きに惚れた！
I truly enjoyed watching you make this bread. I've been keeping my grandmother's tradition of making this bread going for about 15yrs now and I've been working on updating the recipe a little for using my stand mixer more and my elbow grease less. ;) I'm always afraid I'm going to over work the dough using the mixer. When you said to knead for 15 min., was that 15 min on the dough hook, or 15 min my hand?
My great grandparents were a part of the Portuguese people you spoke of who left their influence on the food and traditions in Hawaii in the 1800's. They were from the Azores and were brought to Hawaii as arranged by the Portuguese and Hawaiian kings to work the cane fields as indentured workers. My great grandparents were indentured for 5 years and once they were free, they moved on to California. Even though their children and grandchildren were raised to be Americans, they still kept their traditions in food and culture alive by making sure those traditions and values were passed on to each new generation. I'm the first generation that is only half Portuguese but I take great pride in my roots from both parents and making this bread is a particular favorite of mine.
Thank you very much Jacki for sharing that, I just saw your comment now, six months later. When mixing a dough like this that has fats (butter, eggs...) it helps if you mix it for a little while until there are no dry pieces, then let it rest for 15 minutes or so for the flour to absorb the fat, then mix it some more for another few minutes.
I know it's another branch of cooking, but, do you find Norwegian cod fish to make a proper bacalhoada over there?
🌹🌹
😉😋
All I could said is....WOW your amazing 😉
Thank you Sandie! ;)

Hi Mark! I’m new to your channel. I really enjoy your content, very informative and calming to watching. I’m a baker myself and you’re really a inspiration. Thank you for sharing your craft to the world. I’m curious is there a technical term or name for the shaping technique where your use your finger to shape?
Thanks for the kind words Emerson. To be honest, I don't know if there is a name for the technique. The pulling technique that I use to finish the small round loaves I learned during my first job as a dishwasher at a pizza place many years ago. ;)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi Mark,is the texture like your potato rolls? which one would be best suited for burgers. Thanking you. Love your baking.
Hi Patricia, They are a little bit heavier than the potato rolls. Personally I like the potato rolls a little better for burgers and the Portuguese Sweet Bread for pulled pork.
@@sinclairsbakery Thank you dear Mark,for answering and explaining. Will do that then. I made the potato rolls today,and they were just out of this world. I was SO HAPPY with the results I did a little dance to myself as they came out of the oven. They looked AMAZING. So soft and light to the touch. Can't wait now to have a burger with all the trimmings.Thanks to you. I am a HAPPY homebaker today.
Very happy to hear that @@patriciagimay9195! Enjoy your burger and new found recipe ;)
@@sinclairsbakery Blessings,and thanking you.
where can I download the recipe?
ماشاء الله. روعه. 👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤★★★★★★★★★★★💐💐💐💐💐💐🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
Hi, Im new to bakery and new to your channel also, but I really love seeing your videos.
May I ask you this if you dont mind. What is the purpose of kneading for 3 times before you divide?
Thank you very much
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the videos! The extra kneading gives the bread better texture and strength to help it get better strength.
great ! mark sinclair
Supersin , izlemekten cok keyif aliyorum
Teşekkür ederim!!!
Hello! You make very nice and relaxing videos. I'm a cook professionaly and a home baker so i really enjoy watching your technics. But i'm also Portuguese and i never heard of these breads! What's their origin? Greatings!!
First, thanks for the positive feedback. It makes me happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos.
Second, I based the recipe on Portuguese sweet bread that I had tasted in Hawaii.
Ok! Well keep on with the good work.
@@fophinho Thanks!!! ;)
The profession of a Baker is the oldest in history and respected.
As it should be! ;)
👍👍👍
😄😄😄😍😍
Mummmmm bread💖👍👏👏👏👏👏
how to be you po haha i wish to have that kind of bread business thanks for sharing😁
You are very welcome!
Hello, was wondering, what do you use this bread for, dinner rolls, sandwich rolls.... slicing for toast? What food does it go well with?
Yes Sandy, you can use it for any of those that you mentioned. I like it best either toasted for breakfast or as a bun for burgers or pulled pork.
Thank you for sharing your recipe. Could you share with us, the mixing time your bread is in the mixer.? Also, at what mixing step do you add the butter. Thank you
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
💕💕💕💕💕💕
Sir, if you wrote a commercial cook book of bread making , layout, design, planning and production; I will buy at least 2 copies! You want to be paid before you write it? No problem! I'm certain it will be worth it! Have you ever baked in wood fired ovens?
Thank you very much for your support and one day I will write a book. No I haven’t baked in a wood fired oven.
Gosh...it looks so effortlessly done by you😅, but look at those muscles; I am sure it needs some work! How many hours involved just with one dough? Hard work indeed!
I takes many hours, but it's worth it don't you think? ;)
Mahalo, Bra'h.
No problem Kimo, enjoy.
Is the recipe private to your business? What size is the white container you use to poof the dough? Awesome job btw!
Dan, the recipe is at the end of the video but in order to see it you'll need to view it on a computer monitor since it looks small. I'm not sure on the size of the container, but generally it's best if your dough takes up about 33% of the container it is proofing in.
@@sinclairsbakery thanks for your advise. I've been able to screen shot the recipe and will try it.
Good looking bread. Why do you bake the rolls lighter?
Sei bravissimo 👍😋 iscritto
Did you ever sleep
Awesome video btw
Take care man!
I sleep when I can zach, and I'm glad you enjoy the video. You take care too. :)
😍😍😍😍😍💪
👍🏼
My dream is that I can bake and I can open a bakery
hi, i am from Venezuela, your is work is excelent. Please, send the recipe of this bread. excuse my bad english
Thank you very much Marco. The recipe is at the end of the video, but you need to see it on a computer since it is so small.
@@sinclairsbakery thanks ,good luck
What is the actual recipe. I'd love to make it sometime. We lived in Hawaii for 3 years and left 13 years ago. My kids love Hawaii sweet bread and miss it.
The recipe is at the end of the video.
Can I substitute the honey with sugar? If it’s possible, how many grams of sugar that can substitute the honey?
Hi How to bread shelf life improve for longtime sir
Do you have time to sleep or have fun? Looks like all work...
Well I don't make videos of myself sleeping or having fun, just working, ;)
markcsinclair 🤣😂🤪
What is the square ft of your trailer?
You are a good baker and shows that you are a man who loves the work you do ... and I love to invite you to Islam, Islam urges work and mastery
