Bread of God

S & I: Brioche dough, topped with coconut paste and icing sugar. H & C: The original name may be derived from its origin as an affordable yet rich bread — a people’s bread —, seen as the coconut adds nutritional, caloric value and flavour. It is also known as the Estaladinho in Northern Portugal, or Arrufada in Southern Portugal. It is often eaten in the same fashion as Pão de Leite — with butter, cheese and ham.
