Amazing texture and taste! Make sure to use the light crust setting when baking

Love this bread. Used just one pack of yeast. I'll put the next time raisins in the last dough cycle and bake the bread in muffin pans in the oven.

I grew up with this kind of bread, many hours in the making. This recipe is great, although my machine had it done in 2 hrs 30 min. I warmed the milk and margerine to 112 degrees and let the yeast grow for 10 min. Then I put in the rest of the ingredients and started the machinine. I am going to make dozens for Christmas gifts. My family will love it.

Nice, simple bread. I had to use considerably more flour, but every machine is different (pay attention during the mixing cycle!).

This bread had great texture, and my kids loved the taste. It had a nice flaky, crisp crust. I cut the recipe in half and didn't have any overflowing problems. I gave it four stars because, like the other user this isn't like the other portugese bread that I have had:) But a great dinner bread!

Tried this recipe today. Simply fantastic!! Would make excellant rolls. I agree with other posts that in the bread machine you may want to put it on the light white setting. On sweet bread setting the crust was very brown and a little hard. Overall I can't wait to make it again.

Yum. This was my first test with a bread machine- before I made my bread by hand. It's so easy! I don't have a sweetbread setting, so I used White bread, light crust. The bread is light, fluffy, and with a tinge of sweet essence. Recommended.

Only slightly sweet. Not the Portuguese sweet bread I'm used to getting in Fall River, MA from Portuguese bakers. Tasted fine, but was more of a sandwich white bread than a sticky, yummy sweet dessert bread. Wouldn't make again.

Excellent flavor. I used a bread machine. I don't have a sweet bread setting, so I put it on 1.5 lb. basic medium. Thanks!

Awesome. Baked a loaf today and had BLTs with fresh tomatoes from the garden. Oh...how wonderful!!!! I, too, baked mine in the oven like some at 350 for 25 minutes just 'cz I don't like the shape of the loaf from the bread machine. Didn't adjust anything.

I just got a breadmaker from a friend that's moving and this was the first one I ever made - it turned out perfectly and is so good! The perfect amount of sweetness and very easy to make. I highly recommend!

Perfect bread to go with just about anything! Simple, delicious, and turns out a very nice golden color...cuts beautifully, too. I love to tweak recipes, but this recipe is perfect the way it is!
