Bolo de caco is a traditional bread from the Portuguese island of Madeira. It is a flat, round bread made with sweet potato, flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. The dough is then baked on a flat stone, which gives it a distinctive texture and flavor.
Bolo de caco is a staple food in Madeira and is often served as an accompaniment to meals, particularly with garlic butter or cheese. It can also be used as a sandwich bread, with fillings such as tuna, ham, or cheese. In recent years, bolo de caco has become popular in other parts of Portugal and in other countries as well.
