hi there let’s make Portuguese doughbys today mades show you how fluffy they are 3 tbsp of warm water one heaping teaspoon of instant yeast one teaspoon of granulated sugar you mix it well and let that foam up in a sauce pan you want to warm up 3/4 cup of milk 1/4 cup of salted butter warm up the milk until the butter melts in a mixing bowl of four whole eggs 1/4 cup of sugar half of a lemon Z I want to beat it until the mixture is creamy like this the yeast is foamy add it to the egg mixture there are four cups of flour here you always want to have an extra half a cup all flowers are different they weigh differently the warm milk mixture uh warm to the touch okay you want to add it slowly this is a half of recipe that I made some of my family members are on a diet got to get my hands in here I just have to feel the dough it’s a salt soft sticky dough soft dough equals soft meliso you dust a little bit on top and cover and let it rest for about 20 minutes after 20 minutes hold it now you want to dust it again just a bit so it won’t stick to the towel now you want to cover and let it sit until doubled you press on the dough indentation stays it’s ready to go what I like to do is just fry a little one a little Mada in there and if it’s floating it the oil is warm enough yep it’s ready to go now the easiest way is you oil your hands so what you want to do with the dough is you stretch it and until it’s almost a see-through in the middle this will create the two-tone effect that the msada has and you keep stretching it and then you slowly place it in the oil and it’ll float immediately let it cook for about a minute or two you want to check on it it’s a quick process this is the traditional way you want to dip it in granulated sugar and this is how you eat it or some people like it we also like it with the cinnamon sugar it’s a light fluffy molisa we love it here I hope you try the recipe

  1. Thank you from this Portuguese man who is marrying a Panamanian woman who is used to making Hojaldre. She said oh a Hojaldre with sugar on it!

  2. Thank you for this video! The dough just seemed far too wet when I tried them, so I ended up adding flour until it wasn’t soupy.

    They came out well, don’t get me wrong, but keeping the wetter dough and using the stretch and fold method until it’s workable is the key I was missing. Thank you again!
