Corn bread (broa de milho) is common throughout most of Portugal. With its crisp crust and rich texture it is served as an accompaniment to any sort of meal and a traditional mate for grilled sardines. In traditional feiras a piece of broa is often used to support a sardine, soaking up all the juices and flavour. This is a simplified recipe which can be mixed in a bread maker (dough setting) or in a mixer with a dough paddle.
Stale corn bread makes for excellent migas…
