Instructions
-
1Pour boiling water over cornmeal, stir vigorously and let swell for 10 minutes — this step makes the bread moist.
-
2Dissolve yeast with sugar in 5 oz (150 ml) lukewarm water, let rest 5 minutes.
-
3Mix wheat flour and salt. Work in cornmeal mixture, yeast water, olive oil, and softened cannabis butter.
-
4Knead for 10 minutes until a firm, slightly sticky dough forms. Cornmeal doughs are naturally heavier than pure wheat doughs.
-
5Shape dough into a round loaf, place on floured parchment and let rise for 60 minutes until visibly puffed.
-
6Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), preheat baking stone or inverted sheet pan.
-
7Brush loaf surface with water, dust with cornmeal, score with a cross.
-
8Place bread on hot stone, pour 1 cup water on oven floor (steam!). Bake for 40-45 minutes until crust is deep golden brown.
-
9Cool completely — broa becomes fully developed while cooling. Wait at least 30 minutes.
Pro Tips
- Swelling the cornmeal with boiling water is essential — it prevents crumbliness.
- Let cannabis butter soften at 104°F (40°C), don't melt — it should be worked into the dough, not saturate it.
- Broa keeps longer than wheat bread and becomes even more aromatic with age.
- Typically Portuguese: serve broa with Caldo Verde (kale soup) — perfect combination.
