Bolo Lêvedo
Furnas griddle bread enriched with milk, butter, eggs and sugar.
About Bolo Lêvedo
This profile covers bolo lêvedo from Furnas on São Miguel in the Azores. It follows Cozinha Açoriana's complete local recipe for the traditional lightly sweet, yeast-raised bread.
Wheat flour and yeast form the bread-like base, while sugar makes it gently sweet. Whole milk, butter and eggs add a soft richness, with salt balancing the dough.
The finished bolo lêvedo is a thick, flattened round with golden griddle marks and a soft, pale interior. Its texture sits between a tender milk bread and an English muffin, without the accompaniments sometimes served alongside it.
