Recently Ivone, who is responsible for the bakery at Quinta das Águias, got from our friend Isabel the original recipe for Broa, traditional Portuguese bread made with corn flower, sometimes mixed with rye or wheat. The recipe was passed to Isabel by her grandmother who had kept this tradition alive.
When the right (organic, whole) flours are used the Broa is not only a very tasty but also nutritious and healthy. Last night Ivone took the recipe and made the Broa. She used a mix of corn-, rye- and spelt flour.
The result you see here:
We, who had the fortune to taste the bread can assure you: it was a great interpretation of this traditional recipe with as result one of the best Broas we ever tasted. In combination with Joep´s veggie pâté (see Joeps Veggie Pâté), a real gastronomic treat. That this tradition may live long!
