Broa de milho is a Portuguese corn bread consisting of plain flour, cornmeal, yeast, water, milk, sugar, salt, and butter. It is characterized by its fine, moist texture, making it an ideal pair for soups and stews, when it is often used for dipping.
The bread is especially popular in Northern Portugal and the Azores. In the past, broa de milho was considered a poor man's food, but today it is enjoyed by all tiers of society.
