Made with simple ingredients like flour, water, salt, and yeast, it has a dense, chewy crumb and a thick, crispy crust. The dough is often left to rise slowly, sometimes overnight, which enhances its flavor and texture. Pão Caseiro is a staple in Portuguese households, enjoyed fresh out of the oven or toasted with butter. It pairs perfectly with soups, and stews. This bread is a true representation of the rustic, homemade flavors that are cherished in Portuguese culinary traditions.

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour (plus 1 additional teaspoon for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
  • 2 cups of lukewarm water
