Aloha Karen,
This is what I make my sweet bread with; 10# flour 18 eggs beaten, I add a little yellow food coloring (the old days they use only the yolk but now can’t afford to throw the rest away) 1 to 2 tsp. vanilla extract (my family doesn’t care too much for extract because of heartburn so I cut it down) 4 cans carnation milk 4 cans water (using the carnation milk cans) 2 sticks butter Crisco 1 block butter 3 sets of yeast 4 ½ cups sugar 1 tsp salt (Optional) I don’t add in mines (I know the old Portuguese would scream at me for not adding but I found no difference) Raisins (Optional) Add sugar to the flour Empty packets of yeast with 1 tsp sugar and 1 cup warm water Melt on low fire butter Crisco and butter with the carnation milk (when it is done I add 4 cans of cold water to cool off) Add yeast mixture and butter mixture to flour and mix. I’ve had to change my recipe around using the stone oven. I have a mixer so I usually add a little flour as it’s mixing. Once the dough stops sticking to the side it is done. You might have to experiment because weather makes a difference on the dough too. So experiment and make your own adjustments. If using a mixer add raisins and hand fold in so it doesn’t smash. You would baste the bread right before going in the oven with beaten eggs. With the stone oven I can use only the egg whites so it doesn’t get to dark and hard. In the regular oven I use to mix 1 or 1 eggs and add little carnation cream. Again that is to your liking. Some people like the more crunchy so you would add the carnation cream. I was raised when it was Easter we would fold in a egg with the shell into the dough and bake it. If I have time later I will find the picture with my bread in the stone oven Good Luck, Gail From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Karen Boggs Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 7:55 AM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Dessert called "Rosas do Egipto" ["Rosas do Egito"] or Egyptian Roses? there is two small bakeries in Maui that also makes Malasadas that are very good. The one up country Maui is ran by Japanese and I don't know how they started making them but they open at 6:30 a.m. and they are sold out of Malasadas by 8:00 a.m. The other is in Wailuku, Maui and they make them fresh all day long. My great-grandmother made the Portuguese white bread and sweet bread from a stone oven. Gail My whole family would love to have the recipe for the sweet bread if you would like to share. I am looking for a place to get some for our family reunion Sept. 4th. Does anyone know a place near Lodi, California? My great grandparents came to Hawaii in 1906 to the Big Island. My grandmother was born in Haukula in 1908. They came to the mainland in 1913. _____ From: Gail Elizares <geliza...@hawaii.rr.com> To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Mon, August 15, 2011 8:13:58 AM Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Dessert called "Rosas do Egipto" ["Rosas do Egito"] or Egyptian Roses? Helen, I never did see rosettes being made, all we did was the malasadas. I come from the Big Island of Hawaii (different island from Oahu) and malasadas is a big thing whenever there are fundraisers especially the Catholic churches. There is one Drive Inn in Honokaa, HI that makes and sells good malasadas. They even sell a small pack of ingredients and instructions to make them. My expertise is stone oven bread. I make Portuguese white bread and sweet bread. For taste you can’t beat the stone oven.

Thanks, Margaret! Do you know of a specific dough cutting implement (perhaps similar to a cookie cutter) that's used to create specific shape? Are there a certain number of flower-petals, or is the item circular, perhaps with a scalloped edge? If someone can have better luck finding an image online of either "Rosas do Egipto" or the cutting implement, I'd be most grateful, because it's hard for me to translate something I can't picture !
