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 ;)
