Description

Abstract:: Two Terceira Island heritage bread recipes have been re-created using wild yeast sweet potato sponge leavener—Maria de Fátima’s massa sovada, cited in Álamo Oliveira’s novel I No Longer Like Chocolates, and Ti Chôa restaurant’s Friday pão caseiro (home-style bread), described by journalist Diana Marcum in her Azores travelog The Tenth Island. Research methodology included correspondence with sources who recalled either of the original breads, and the role of bread in Azorean culture; searches for books, online writings, and videos about similar home bread-baking techniques; and the authors’ own kitchen experiments.; Recriaram-se as receitas de dois tipos de pães tradicionais da ilha Terceira que utilizam levedura selvagem feita com batata doce como fermento: a massa sovada de Maria de Fátima, mencionada no romance de Álamo de Oliveira, Já Não Gosto de Chocolates; e o pão caseiro disponível às sextas-feiras no restaurante Ti Chôa, de acordo com a descrição de Diana Marcum no seu diário de viagem aos Açores, The Tenth Island [A Décima Ilha]. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa incluiu correspondência com fontes que se recordavam de um ou do outro destes pães originais e o papel de pão na cultura açoriana; consulta de livros, textos e vídeos eletrónicos sobre técnicas semelhantes de fabrico de pão caseiro, e as experiências culinárias dos autores.
