[The Saturday Night Baker] #27: Portuguese Sweet Bread

[David]

This is my second time making Portuguese Sweet Bread from Peter's book.  The dough has a fun citrus smell caused by the teaspoons of both lemon and orange flavors.  The dough was a pretty sticky affair but I got it whipped into shape by adjusting the flour.  The high sugar content gives the outer crust a dark brown glow but the inner crumb is a tender white heaven, providing a wonderful contrast when sliced.  The bread is good for snacking on or turning into French toast like we did the first time I made it.

Yum!

Over the weekend I also made three more batches of Poolish Baguettes (nine loaves in total) and they all look beautiful.  Several of them are going to work with me today for a team potluck.
