Portuguese Sweet bread ! from BBA

August 25, 2009 By Richa 10 Comments

Another bread that i tried from Peter Reinharts’ Bread Bakers Apprentice Book !. This one just looked very pretty, so i had to try it. I dint have a pie pan , so I used the boule technique, but placed it in a bread pan. The bread came out really soft with a nice mahogany crust!
I also finally bought an electric knife and got those beautiful slices!
Here’s the recipe on Fresh Loaf . I was feeling a bit lazy to copy it off the book:)
This one was an instant hit with hubby. I love the texture, the taste and the beautiful colors of this one. All the effort of reading the book and following steps methodically and all that patience did help!
To make this vegan, you can use a roux of chickpea flour and water thickened until it forms a custard.

    I love the crust color on this loaf. And how beautiful are those slices? Alton Brown swears by an electric knife and so far I’ve resisted getting one but I may have to reconsider…

    Thanks susan,
    The electric knife is definitely a good investment, esp for these soft breads. i think i finished up the bread quickly just because of those beautiful, unsquished and even slices:)
    Thanks Mimi, yes indeed it did. I just made another one with butterscotch flavoring!

    What did you use to replace the eggs when you made this?

      ah i missed updating this post. The blog wasnt vegan for a few initial months in 2009 and then we went vegan, changed the blog name, blog also went vegan, so i removed the non-vegan posts or updated them. Seems like i missed this one. I havent made this bread again, but i would use a roux of chickpea flour and water thickened until it forms a custard instead of the eggs.

        Thanks so much for getting back to me! I hadn’t noticed the date of the original post – was just doing a search for vegan Massa Sovada ( sweet bread) and the pics you posted looked the most like my grandmother’s bread:)

      flax wont work. Use a mix of chickpea flour and non dairy milk. Make this mixture from my flan (https://www.veganricha.com/2016/05/lemon-flan-vegan-flan-recipe.html) without the sweet or vanilla and cook it to thicken, then use that

          🙂 it should work out. It just might not have the same egg texture, but should be fine as a regular bread.
