Portuguese sweet bread (known as Hawaiian sweet bread in the Western US; see #Outside of Portugal below) refers to an enriched sweet bread or yeasted cake originating from Portugal.[1][2][a] Historically, these sweet breads were generally reserved for festive occasions such as Easter or Pentecost and were typically given as gifts.[6] However, in contemporary times, many varieties are made and consumed year round.[7] Outside of Portugal, Portuguese "sweet bread" translated as "pão doce" is often associated with Azorean "massa sovada" which are similar but traditionally prepared differently.[8][9]
