How to Make Pao De Milho Portuguese Cornbread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and orange zest.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes (220 minutes).
  6. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice and enjoy toasted or on its own! Pairs wonderfully with cheese or a light spread.
