RangdrolI’d like to make this because it makes 3 large loaves. In ingredients you say “all purpose flour” but in a response in comments you state bread flour, so which is it? I’m assuming bread flour.1 year ago, Wednesday, April 26, 2023

ElleI’m very confused. Step “1. Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water with half teaspoon of sugar”… is this the 1/2 cup of Water listed in the Ingredients?1 year ago, Saturday, April 15, 2023reply
No it's not Elle, sorry there was a problem with the comments and I didn't see it before, but everything is working now.1 year ago, Sunday, April 16, 2023
ElleNo problem, but then how much water is mixed with the 3 packets of Active dry yeast?
Also at what step does the 1/2 cup Luke warm water get added in?
I don’t see either of that info listed
Thanks

TammyThis was my very first time making it. I’m not much of a baker but I followed the recipe. I did add 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of nutmeg, not lemon extract, as I didn’t have any; but added those because the bread I buy every year at Silva’s bakery in Hayward CA has those 3 extra ingredients. Holy cats!!! They turned out and tasted just like the sweet bread from the bakery!! For me it took about 6 hours from start to finish as my dough kept rising pretty fast. I wish I could post pics. LOL. I also braided the dough and formed 2 BIG loaves. I didn’t realize how much dough this recipe made. ;) thank you Eddie, this was definitely a WINNER!!1 year ago, Sunday, April 9, 2023

SamanthaI have made this in my largest bowl I have on hand. The dough has risen only 3 hours and is about to over flow. Can it be punched down or should I just leave it alone?1 year ago, Friday, April 7, 2023

LynnHow/when do I put the eggs in ? Are they hard cooked before putting them in? Thanks!1 year ago, Friday, April 7, 2023reply
Lynn, this is the wrong recipe for the Easter sweet bread with the hard boiled eggs.1 year ago, Friday, April 7, 2023
Linda LopesI believe Lynn is asking about decorating the massa with eggs to bake on the massa
My mother always pressed these gently into the massa when she was about to bake massa.
They will be like hard boiled eggs when done baking massa.1 year ago, Friday, April 7, 2023 -
LauraLooks delicious, where do i buy the pans to bake these?1 year ago, Thursday, April 6, 2023

Linda LopesThis is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing. My mother used to make so many sweet breads ( massa) at Easter her kitchen table was full! It was a very time consuming effort but she made the best massa ever and she shared with neighbors and all of us kids who were married and of course all her grandchildren who loved it! Thank you for sharing bcz it’s pretty much like hers and she enjoyed it as well. I do however half the recipe bcz my stand mixer cannot take the full recipe! Yes1 year ago, Thursday, April 6, 2023

LindseyIs there a brand of all purpose flour that works well as we have tried different brands here in the USA and it doesn’t seem to turn out as good. My parents usually have to travel and purchase the flour from Canada, usually Robin Hood brand. Thanks.1 year ago, Thursday, April 6, 2023

VivianHow long does it take to double in size the second time when in individual pans?1 year ago, Thursday, April 6, 2023

Valerie AzevedoCan I let the dough rise overnight? So I mean longer than 8hrs.1 year ago, Friday, February 3, 2023reply
JoeValerie - I have heard, and experienced, that if the first rise goes on for too long the dough begins to “ferment” giving it more of a yeast-like taste/flavor versus the sweet bread flavor. I would recommend avoiding more than 8 hours for that first dough rising - Good Luck!! 👍1 year ago, Thursday, April 6, 2023
KellyYou can put in fridge overnight, covered, and let it come to room temp before working it again. The fridge slows down the rise.1 year ago, Friday, April 7, 2023

CarmenIt says knead till it lifts from the bowl. Does that mean until it's not sticky? Please explain, thank you! Also, activating the yeast, is it about 10 minutes like other bread recipes?1 year ago, Tuesday, November 15, 2022
