Portuguese sweet bread
Recipe by William P. (Cookie) Luke, Chef de Cuisine
- 4 packages Yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 12 cups Flour
- 1 tablespoons Salt
- 4 cups Sugar
- 12 large Eggs
- 1 pint Milk
- 1/2 pound Melted butter
- Combine yeast and water; set aside.
- Mix 11 cups flour, salt and sugar.
- In another bowl, mix 12 eggs, 1 pint warm milk and 1/2 pound melted butter; add the yeast mixture.
- Knead all ingredients together (except 1 cup flour) in large buttered ceramic bowl. Knead as you sprinkle the last cup of flour to aid in the mixing.
- Cover with damp towel; place in a warm area. Let it rise twice - knead down each time, shape into loaves and place in greased loaf pans.
- Let rise again in the pans. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes.
- Remove from pans and let cool.
*Consider adding some chopped nuts. This adds a bit more texture.
