Hawaiian sweet bread is inspired by the Portuguese sweet bread pao doce brought to the islands by immigrant workers. Purchased fresh from a specialty bakery or made from scratch at home, it resembles choreg a bit. Everyone goes to Leonard's on Waikiki for malasadas, but don't skip the pao doce! Packaged King's is good, but nothing beats the freshness of a newly made loaf or rolls, as with all baked goods. King's consumed on the mainland is baked on the mainland, but it brings a little aloha and Portugal to your day. King's bakery has a very interesting history too.

Andrew, I love your blog and your recipes. I also love that you have a point of view and try to live an ethical life. It’s easy to ignore things like Martin’s and pretend that not buying them doesn’t make a difference. But it does.
