Portuguese Sweet Bread (Massa Sovada)
“Nowhere else can make a sweet bread loaf like my hometown of Fall River, MA. It is a traditional recipe that is known to have been brought over from the immigrants of São Miguel. This bread is most popular at Easter but is enjoyed year-round. I like to have mine for breakfast with a little butter added to it. But, it is also served as dessert.” – Tara
