abstract:Portuguese sweet bread (Provence bread or simply sweet bread and the Easter version with eggs is better known as folar) is a bread made with milk, sugar, eggs, yeast and flour and/or honey and sometimes lemon peel to produce a subtly sweet lightly textured loaf or rolls. It was traditionally made around the Christmas and Easter holidays (sometimes with hard boiled eggs baked into the loaves for the latter holiday) as a round-shaped loaf, but today it is made and available year round.
