Pão com chouriço is a beloved Portuguese snack, often enjoyed fresh from the oven at bakeries or during festivals. This hearty bread is stuffed with slices of flavorful chouriço, creating a delicious combination of soft, chewy dough and smoky, savory sausage.

Perfect for picnics, as a midday snack, or alongside a bowl of soup, this classic treat is a staple in Portuguese comfort food.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 ounces Portuguese chouriço, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water.
  2. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  4. Make a well in the center, and add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and egg.
  5. Mix until the dough comes together.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  7. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
  8. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours.
  9. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
  11. Roll each portion into a rough oval or rectangle shape, about ¼ inch thick.
  12. Place 4–5 slices of chouriço along the center of each piece of dough.
  13. Fold the sides over the chouriço, pinching to seal the edges tightly.
  14. Arrange the stuffed rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  15. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  16. Bake for 20–25 minutes.
  17. Allow to cool slightly before serving, but they’re best enjoyed warm.

    I’ve been planning for over a week to make this recipe. All set and realized nowhere is the olive oil listed. HOW MUCH OLIVE OIL?
