ok, have just read through the 16 pages 

Will have to try them! The cool change is just coming through, so will pop it on now, will substitute the honey for golden syrup to keep it 'Failsafe' for my little guy.

Hope you get a good result and enjoy it!

Help! I have made this bread with great success many times until today!! I did what I normally do but when I made the slits st the end the whole thing deflated I was hoping it would rise again in the oven but it didn't.  I don't know if this is because I baked it in the afternoon and not early morning or humid.  Do any of you have similar stories or words of wisdom?!!

i would suggest if it does that again to re knead it and reprove it again for the 20 or so minutes but watch it doesnt rise too much..it did happen to me once but its because i left it longer that usual (got preoccupied elsewhere)..it worked out fine in the end..

My table was rocking when the thermomix was kneading the dough -- I dared not move away from the table for fear it would topple over as well!

The dough is doing it's first rest as I type

Wise move thanislim, it has been known to happen.  Welcome to the forum.

JN,  if it deflates it is usually over proved,  that is it has risen too much.   It is also best to slash the top when  3/4 way through the 2nd rise.  As a general rule it is better to slightly under prove than over prove as it will 'bounce' a bit more in the oven.  Have another go, good luck.

Found isi's recipe before going to bed last night. Have ten for lunch today dh was going to buy bread on his way home but not any more. Isi I lived in Portugal for eleven years and love the bread - beats the French I think. So this will be my first try to make some popsecos!  I'm gluten intolerant but rebel now and again - tho do make gf bread in tm and it is amazing. I go to Petersham to eat pasteIs da nata and just pretend they are gf. I've got some bakers flour so will make your bread now, and pretend that it is gf too, I find now that the odd breakout is ok. I've got my tm butter made already. I've been a breadmaker for ever so am excited.

 I hope everything goes well and you can recall Portuguese flavours,
Kind regards

Thanks chooklady I will decrease prove time and see how I go.  It is r early hot and humid here so maybe this also impacts? I am new at baking bread so any and all tips are greatly appreciated

Bumping this recipe for the newcomers, a lovely recipe - usually have to add 50g or more flour after the first rise as it is quite a moist dough at that point.  Got a bit fancy tonight

[JaneeZee]

Good idea JD.  A couple of my customers were raving about this bread earlier this week at our baking cooking class so I had to look it out.  Still haven't had time to try it but planning on giving it a go over the weekend.  (they used to be times I had days off but not any longer!!!).
