Bolo do caco is a wheat flatbread typical of Madeira, found both on the island of Madeira and on Porto Santo. It is eaten as a starter, as a side or as a dish in its own right.
Method
Peel the sweet potatoes, boil them in water and mash them.
Dissolve the yeast in a little water (about 150 ml) and add the salt.
Put the flour on a clean surface, open a well in the middle and add the sweet potato and the yeast. Leave the dough to rise for 2 to 3 hours.
Divide the dough into small portions and flatten them on a floured surface, then cook the bolo do caco on a very hot griddle, on both sides.
