3 · Growing up my mom would make Sweetbread aka Massa for every special celebration, and especially for Easter and Christmas. Truly these holidays would not be complete unless there was sweetbread to enjoy. I can recall especially, Easter where it felt like my mom would make enough loaves to feed our whole family, our extended family as well as all our friends!! I also remember the wonderful aroma of the baked bread… it would fill not only the house, but also that the whole Portuguese…
