PORTUGUESE SWEET BREAD2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1 c. plus 1 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. lukewarm water
1/2 c. warm milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp. salt
4 to 4 1/2 c. flour
1 to 2 tsp. cardamom
Combine the yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar and water in large bowl and allow to proof. Put the butter in the warm milk and add 1 cup sugar and blend well. Add to the yeast mixture and stir to combine the ingredients. Add 3 eggs, lightly beaten and the flavoring, 1 to 2 teaspoons cardamom and salt and mix well. Then add 4 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, kneading with your hands in the bowl to make a soft dough.
Turn out on a floured board and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, using only enough additional flour to prevent sticking. This should take about 10 minutes. Shape into a ball and put into a buttered bowl, turning the dough to coat the surface with butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until double in bulk. Punch down the dough and divide into 2 pieces. Shape, cover with greased wax paper until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 45 minutes. Makes 2 loaves.

Here is a basic white bread recipe:
In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Beating at low speed, add the water and butter. Continue beating at high speed for 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup flour and beat 4 minutes longer. Stir in 3 cups flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes,, or until dough is smooth and elastic, adding a little more flour as necessary.
Place dough in a large buttered bowl, turning to butter top. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for about 1 hour in a warm place, free of drafts. Punch dough down; knead until smooth. Cut dough in half, cover with the mixing bowl, and let stand for 15 minutes longer. Roll each half into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Starting with the narrow edge, roll up, turning ends under to make loaves to fit pans. Place rolls seam side down in greased loaf pans, 9x5x3-inches. Cover pans with clean towel and let rise in warm place until double, about 45 minutes. Bake loaves at 400° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped with fingers. Remove from pans to racks; brush with butter for a soft, more flavorful crust, if desired.
during the baking process, if you are making the bread from scratch, the addition of oil and/ or fruit, such as raisins, or applesauce will add moisture to the final baked bread.
