I don’t find out about you…. however I’m curious.

I see ‘caco’ and my thoughts right away is going to chocolate, although I realize it’s no longer (cacao, no longer caco).

Elizabeth, of weblog from OUR kitchen, and our host kitchen for this month, explains the time period: this flatbread used to be cooked on a basalt stone over scorching coals, which used to be referred to as caco, therefore its title.

It’s often referred to as Madeiran Tile Bread.

This bread (or those flatbreads) are a strong point of the Portuguese island of Madeira. At first, they have been cooked at the stones as a result of common other folks couldn’t have ovens and needed to pay to make use of the ovens within the monasteries or castles.

They’re now a well-liked side road meals in addition to a staple with each meal.

They have got candy potato within the dough, white if to be had, as a result of there used to be no longer numerous grain to be had at the island. Or, perhaps, as it made a pleasant, wet bread.
