Yudane Method                               vs                       Without Yudane Method

It has been a while since I made white bread for my family.  I was experimenting with soft bread using the Yudane Method vs without Yudane Method.  For me personally, I still prefer to use the Yudane Method despite it requiring an extra step because the result is worth the little extra effort.   Characteristic of bread using Yudane Method:  The texture is especially soft, fluffy and moist on the first day and it lasts very well for 2 - 3 days.  There is a very slight mild sourness.   Characteristic of bread without Yudane Method:  The texture is soft, fluffy and...

These sausage, ham, and cheese loaves are a hearty, traditional Portuguese bread, that is made with presunto, chouriço, and semi-firm sheep’s milk cheese

They can also be made into rolls. From | The New Portuguese Table | Clarkson Potter, 2009 Every Saturday when I was growing up, my mother would go to the local Portuguese bakery and buy a dozen chouriço rolls—torpedo-shaped logs stuffed with sausage. By Monday, they would be gone, mostly due to me. To dress up my childhood classic, I added presunto and cheese, and sometimes sautéed onions and garlic, to the dough.
