Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Portugese Sweet Bread

Trish - The recipe that I talked about a few days ago didn't turn out that great. It tasted good but the little birds I made turned out fat, flat and needed WW! Anyway, here's the one from Electric Bread:

PORTUGUESE SWEET BREAD
Cal 216
chol 36 mg
sod 333 mg
protein 12%
Carb 62%
fat 26%
(They don't say how many servings are in a loaf--duuuhhhh!)

Notes: this recipe produces a souply-looking dough. As kneading progresses, the potato flakes will absorb the moisture.

Put crust setting on light.
Use rapid or regular cycles

For Large Loaf:
3/4 c lukewarm water
3 c white bread flour
1-1/2 tbsp dry milk (use dry soy milk if possible)
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter
1/3 c beaten egg (or egg beaters)
3/4 tsp lemon zest fresh
1 tsp vanilla extract pure
1/3 c dried potato flakes
3 tbsp pineapple juice concentrate thawed
1 tsp fast rise yeast
OR
1-1/2 tsp active dry yeast

Trish - let me know how it comes out. I've had the real things made with real hands from one of my husband's sisters (they're all Portuguese) and she makes the best, moist, taste sweet bread. The longer it sits, the moister it gets.

Good Luck!
