Ok I am off to start the Santa Bread!

Bread is in.


No not really it is rising.

I would like for Santa to leave me a Kitchen Elf this year , like when Buddy escaped to the North Pole in Santa's bag. ... About that long

with everyone home right now I always have to clean the kitchen before I can play in there.

Portuguese Sweet bread in the machine is good and pan toasted ... even better!

I'm too lazy to look...is that recipe in the index? It sounds wonderful!

I don't think so I used to make it my mom is form MA. and they have lots of Portuguese shops and artisans there. She loved the sweet bread so I learned to make it in the bread machine for her visits.
I will see if I can find the recipe I used.

Here comes Santa Clause!


Things I will do differently. I will not bake as long he looks to young to be Santa

I will use a small paint brush to do the whole thing rather than fuss with a basting brush.
I did use 3 gradual red colors lightest for cheeks and nose. (which I formed as a nose and it Rudolph-ed on me anyway) Med I gave him lips and darkest for his hat.

I just used a sweet white bread recipe and added 1tsp each Ground Allspice Nutmeg and Ginger. Thought it would be a cute breakfast bread.

Now DH wants one for Christmas Dinner

He NEVER requests my silly fun baking things!

AND NOW I AM GOING TO GO BUTTER UP SANTA!

Tastes good but it is my first Non Machine bread so the oven didnt shut off when it was fully cooked

It is good and was fun to send pics to my kids of How I buttered up Santa this year

It baked up to almost the full cookie sheet so it is not a little bit of bread either.
Would have been more practical when all 5 lived at home or for big dinner.

Thanks NFC

Thank YOU for making it! With just DH and I here and him already having asked for a specific bread for Christmas dinner, I wasn't going to get a chance to try it this year (2 breads is too much for us). Next year, I'm tackling Santa!

You did a wonderful job and I'm glad you're DH was impressed! That would be a fun bread to take to a dinner or for work treats.
