Hi Maria, I wanted to make this today, so without white corn flour, I ground yellow corn meal in my mini food processor. It is baking right now and smells delicious!

I bought corn flour in my supermarket. Most recipes online for broa call for cornmeal which is quite different.
Thank you for posting the correct recipe.

In reply to Diane. Correct, the fine flour is not cornmeal. You might find online stores such as Portugalia Marketplace or shop Portuguese

Hi Maria,
We are having trouble finding white corn flour. This is not the same as corn meal, correct?

In reply to Christina. I use white corn flour that I find at the Portuguese markets. It is fine not course… if all you can get is course just adjust and add more water…

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa, I have learned that not all flour is the same. Some are finer than others as well as Courser and dryer than others…so it’s all about adjusting the liquid to it until it comes together. That’s the art of baking… A little sometimes goes a long way… I have buying the same white corn flour for years and until this pandemic and shortages in certain flours did I purchase a different brand which was so much courser than the usual… so I had the same exact problem. So please don’t give up…

Hi Maria, I bought your book and couldn’t wait to try the recipes, I made the fresh cod poached in onion, garlic tomato sauce and it was the delicious, I tried to make the Portuguese corn bread but I couldn’t get the dough to form a ball at all, it just kept crumbling, no idea what I did wrong.

Thanks,
Lisa C
