Masa sovada (portuguese sweetbread)


"I have found that if I initially heat up the oven and then turn it off, I put the dough in there to rise and it rises twice as fast.

Also, I don't know if this violates any rules, but I've found that I prefer this bread with raisins added.

Finally, as I mentioned to those who have gotten this recipe already, this bread makes the best toast in the world! (Personal opinion, of course..)"
