I loved the video. The critics down below are extremily unfair as everything worked so well from beggining til the end. Thank you very much. I am Brazilian portuguese speaking and I enjoy portuguese recipies . 😊
Reminds me of the many mornings I woke to the sweet indescribable aroma of sweet bread being baked by my mom. Miss my mom [mae] so much, as well as the taste of home made sweet bread along with a cup of coffee. Eternal gratitude for my Portuguese heritage.
First, thank you for this video! And thank you for your great written recipe and instructions! I’ve tried several Portuguese Sweet Bread recipes (in a quest to have a reliable recipe) and have had lots of failures and “almost” right breads. This recipe is the easiest and comes out the best!!! I’ve cut the recipe in a quarter - so it makes one loaf and 4 rolls. Note to anyone making this - the yeast matters. The Saf Gold yeast makes a big difference!!
Sure! For 1 and 1/2 loaves (I make 1 large loaf and 4 rolls or 2 smaller rectangular loaves) Starter Sponge: 1 and 1/2 tsps. Sugar 1 tbsp Flour (don’t pack it - a light tablespoon) 2 tbsp Warm Water (about 120 degrees - add yeast after water is mixed with flour and sugar) 1 tablespoon Fast acting dry yeast (Saf Gold preferred) Bread Dough: 684 g flour (there are 120g in one cup) - Original recipe calls for 624g regular flour (I use Gold bleached flour - bleached being more refined than unbleached. - And 60g bread flour (King Author) *** I use 342g bleached flour and 342g bread flour 3 large white eggs 1 egg yolk 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tbsp sugar (I use regular sugar) 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/4 cups Milk 3/4 stick butter and 2 tbsp Vegetable shortening 1/4 tsp. lemon extract (optional) 1/2 teaspoon of mace (optional - not in original Angelo’s recipe - but used by my grandmother) Zest of one lemon (no white just rind) - I don’t use this Egg wash: 1 egg beaten well with whisk More about the flour: I’ve made this with all bread flour and the bread was a bit too delicate to survive the toaster in one piece. I’ve make it as in the original recipe, and the rolls were not fluffy enough (the loaf was fine). So, I’ve settled on 1/2 and 1/2 with the flours. The bleached flour will help with rising, as does the bread flour. Experiment for your favorite combination!
I am Portuguese and made sweet bread but you make it so easy thank you for the recipe every time I make I can move my arms for a couple days I am making your way for sure thank you
Fantastic video! Very well explained. I feel I can actually try this recipe and be successful. Thank you for this video. PLEASE MAKE MORE PORTUGUESE (Sao Miguel Acores) RECIPE VIDEOS
Super recipe! I would love to see a recipe for just 2 loaves of Massa since its only me that will be eating it and don't have space to store all 6. thank you ^_^
Thank You for this wonderful sweet bread recipe. My folks came by ship from Azores to RI then train out to Calif. Hard working families who all did well without handouts. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Unusual method,I have never seen but I’ll be trying it. I imagine this would be great for cinnamon role, anise bread Ect, can’t wait to try. A pleasure to watch
Thank you so much for your recipe and your easy to follow instructions. This was my first time making masa. My mom made masa all the time and we felt bad because it was to make masa. I made this for my first time and my family said this was the best masa they ever had. They couldn’t believe this was my first time making it. So thank you!
I can't believe how generous you are in presenting this detailed video. My family only went to Fall River from New York occasionally when I was a child. There we had superlative sweet bread (Massa souvada) from a family favorite bakery whose name I have forgotten. I loved it so much and I am hopeful that your beautifully executed recipe will match their exquisite bread. Thank you so much for sharing this elegant recipe. Kind Regards.
We made this yesterday, it came out so delicious, light fluffy almost! We shared with friends who said they never had anything like it! it is a huge labor of love, but oh so worth it!
Hi just wondering if you could let me know how many grams of butter this recipe calls he mentions 3 sticks of butter but where I live the butter comes in 454 grams blocks
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. My mother can no longer ger make it so to have your recipe makes me proud to carry out your tradition. I would love to see and have recipes for other breads besides sweet bread. Thank you so much very appreciative of your time effort and sharing this on You Tube
Thank you so much for sharing Angelo! My husband is portuguese and I fell in love with Portugal and the food! This is my first attempt at sweet bread. I followed your video to a T and they turned beautiful 😍 and delicious! I'm a visual learner so you doing a video was the best thing ever. I hope Easter Sunday I can see my mother in law smile (as she use to make this before I met my husband but unfortunately she can't physically do it anymore.) God bless you at this Easter! ✝️
I just want to take the time to thank you Angelo. I am a first generation portuguese living in Canada. I have been using your recipe consecutively for every Easter and Christmas, it never fails! My first time making it I was only 20 years old. I will be using your method for life! Everyone loves it, believe it or not it’s better than my avo’s😂😅 Thank you for helping me keep my heritage strong in my family ❤️ all the best, happy Easter
Angelo, thank you so much for the video. You made it look so easy. I really enjoyed watching this and will be making Sweet bread using your recipe and steps.
This is great! My mom used to make this but back in the day we didn’t have an oven that would stay on “warm” lol but she used the same bowl as you! The measurements are a little different but I’m going to try your way Monday 😊 thank you!
Just like my grandmother used to make. I don't know if she used the lard, I was just a little kid back then standing on a chair, as my grandmother mixed her ingredients for the sweet bread. I would eagerly wait till the bowl was empty to eat the little bits of raw dough with my fingers, LOL.😅 My grandmother always saved a little tiny bit of raw dough that she knew I loved to eat. Her kitchen table was filled with a variety of sweetbreads she would make for the family and a few friends. I remember the little breads that looked like turtles. Those were for the kids, me and my cousins! And what a wonderful aroma from the fresh baked breads that filled the house, just thinking about it brings a smile to my face and a sense of joy to my heart. 😊 This was like a stroll down memory lane for me! My grandmother Rosa was from San Miguel Portugal, such a beautiful island!😊
Wow!! Thank you so much for posting this! Its one of the best videos I've seen on Massa Sovada to date. Easy to follow and the result is 👌🏼. The perfect treat at Easter Time 👍🏼
This is the best video I have ever seen for step by step instructions baking it isn’t long and drawn out very easy to follow explains instructions awesome can’t wait to get up tomorrow and make it. Thank you
Hello angelo I'm new to this channel loved your sweet bread recipe I make 10 pounds every yr for Easter but I'm definitely going to try yours thank you and good luck good work your the first I've seen kneading the bread just like my mom use to thanks again
Tried your recipe for the first time it was delicious exactly the way I like it. Will definitely be making it again. Thanks for posting this video it was easy to follow and very well explained.
Could you please do a video on how you make malasadas and classic Portuguese buns? Grew up on those in the 1980s, and would love to know your process. So many people have recipes out there but I can tell the taste and textures are not traditional Portuguese. You're the man Buddy! I'm making the sweet bread to enjoy on Christmas morning! Glad I found your channel!!
Hi! This looks amazing! I see that you’ve posted the recipe by volume, but I was wondering if maybe you could do it by weight as well? It’s a lot of masa for my house of 2.
Angelo ,thank you so much i just made today the best massa ever maked.I love to see more recipes from you if you use Facebook please let me know. Happy new year ❤
this the second time iv watched this and you make it look so easy follow the way you explain :) i know it more easter bread but im going to make it for Christmas
Thank you so much I already did your sweat bread a few times came out very good just like yours I know wow to do it but I like to try new recepiesyours is dilicious I have it right know in the oven for Easter happy easter
Oh, thank you so very much for this video. My Dad ALWAYS made it and I always took advantage of his bread. Now I wish I had watched him. His recipe called for sweetened condensed milk also, And I wonder if this made it sweeter? I LOVED his and can't duplicate it :( So I'm going to try yours. TY Sir, well done and you made it look so easy lol
Hi Angelo! Thanks for this video! I haven't had real sweet bread since I lived in Fall River, MA back in my teens. I can't wait to bake a few of these! Can you tell me what size the pans you are using?
Me encanta la receta del pan lo Unico que me gustaria que la repitiera en pequeña cantidad soy una principiante y no me atrebo a preparar esta cantidad .Gracias por compartir ,su receta SE Ve deliciosa
Thank u...but 1 more question..do u have a recipe for sweet bread that only makes 2 instead of 6... it's only my husband and myself lol dont think we could all all 6 .....thanks again love ur channel....I'm going to try ur icecream next 🥰
I have a question I made the sweet bread the first time and it came out so good , but the second time it took hours to rise I have in the oven on warm but I don’t know why this time is taking longer , can you tell me what I’m doing wrong
Hello, thanks for sharing your recipe. I can't wait to try it this week! Just a quick question when you say 3 sticks of butter how many grams is that I'm from Canada and our butter is in 454 g blocks
Just found your channel and have been looking for an authentic Portuguese sweet bread. I used to buy them from Cornerstone Bakery in Fall River but I live in S Carolina now and to ship them costs way too much. Hopefully this one will be just as good. I am curious about the pans though. Looks like you are using pans that are bigger than 9 inch cake pans which seem too shallow. Did you purchase them from a kitchen store? Seems like the 9 inch ones would not work too well. I will probably cut the recipe in half to start out with. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Linda - Would you please share your scaled-down recipe? I just want to make one loaf as I'm cooking for two these days. Thank you!
Sure!
For 1 and 1/2 loaves (I make 1 large loaf and 4 rolls or 2 smaller rectangular loaves)
Starter Sponge:
1 and 1/2 tsps. Sugar
1 tbsp Flour (don’t pack it - a light tablespoon)
2 tbsp Warm Water (about 120 degrees - add yeast after water is mixed with flour and sugar)
1 tablespoon Fast acting dry yeast (Saf Gold preferred)
Bread Dough:
684 g flour (there are 120g in one cup)
- Original recipe calls for 624g regular flour
(I use Gold bleached flour - bleached being more refined than unbleached.
- And 60g bread flour (King Author)
*** I use 342g bleached flour and 342g bread flour
3 large white eggs
1 egg yolk
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tbsp sugar (I use regular sugar)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups Milk
3/4 stick butter and 2 tbsp Vegetable shortening
1/4 tsp. lemon extract (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of mace (optional - not in original Angelo’s recipe - but used by my grandmother)
Zest of one lemon (no white just rind) - I don’t use this
Egg wash: 1 egg beaten well with whisk
More about the flour: I’ve made this with all bread flour and the bread was a bit too delicate to survive the toaster in one piece. I’ve make it as in the original recipe, and the rolls were not fluffy enough (the loaf was fine). So, I’ve settled on 1/2 and 1/2 with the flours. The bleached flour will help with rising, as does the bread flour. Experiment for your favorite combination!
If you make the 2 loaf pan loaves, you can freeze one!

Good work,looks so easy. A pleasure watching you, Angelo👍🏽🇵🇹
I add a bit of vanilla to my Portuguese sweet bread. It just enhances the sweet taste even more.

I loved this. I really did. Any suggestions on scaling it down to a pound and a half of flour?
Don't know but they look like angel food cake pans. He uses 9" dia.(in recipe detail). Look around for something close.
A good old fashioned recipe for Portuguese chicken and rice like from the 60s or 70s from the azores..
great video!~ what size pans did you use? is the depth 3" or 4"?
I have a question I made the sweet bread the first time and it came out so good , but the second time it took hours to rise I have in the oven on warm but I don’t know why this time is taking longer , can you tell me what I’m doing wrong
I miss my Mama and my Aunt and my Grandma SO very badly.

Hello, thanks for sharing your recipe. I can't wait to try it this week! Just a quick question when you say 3 sticks of butter how many grams is that I'm from Canada and our butter is in 454 g blocks
A stick of butter = 1/2 Cup or 8 ounces or 113 grams.
Hello from R.I.
Love your demo and I’m going to give it a go this weekend. I would love to know we’re you buy your pans,flour and yeast... Thanks 😊
