You can use butter instead, but because shortening is 100% fat it does add more richness and tenderness to the sweet bread.

On step 10. After I grease this pan do I put the dough in it & place in oven for 1.5 hours. Might be a silly question but I’m not a baker. Ty

Note that she puts this in the oven to rise WITH THE OVEN OFF. You can let it rise anywhere you want, particularly if it is a WARM place. Don't wan't you to misunderstand. Check out the video link which shows her techniques. PS: Many Portuguese don't use lemon in their sweetbread, and it can be left out.

My wife uses the same technique, with the oven off, she turns on the oven light and places the dough (covered) there to rise.

Can you make the dough ahead of time . Or freeze the rolls once they have been baked .

You can freeze it in a air tight bag, we do, but this recipe only makes 1 loaf.

Is the oven temperature correct? It says 305 degrees. Should it actually be 350 degrees?

Hi Kelly, 305F or 150C is correct.

Thank you for posting the recipe for 1 loaf. So many recipes make too much for one person .
