Broa
Broa is a type of maize or rye bread traditionally made in Portugal and Galicia. It exists in somewhat different versions in Portuguese speaking countries like Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique. The Portuguese broas are either made from a mixture of cornmeal, rye, barley, wheat flour and yeast, baking soda or baking powder, or simply from rye and yeast. Before maize was brought from the Americas in the fifteenth century, broa was mostly made from rye. In Brazil, broa is more closely related to cornbread, likely a Native American influence, traditionally seasoned with fennel.
