What's Cooking at Sofia's: Pão Saloio, Portuguese Peasant Bread

Home made peasant type of bread for a third of what it will cost you at a grocery store.

Being in Wisconsin, I am far from any Portuguese market, and if there is one thing I DO miss, it's good bread.

Sure there are lots of great bakeries around the area. But am I going to be spending $4 on a good loaf of bread when I can make it at home for less than a third of it? I am frugal, so whenever I can, I WILL try to save and do things myself.

These rolls are amazing to enjoy with your meal as well as for sandwiches for your kids to take to school.
