Rosca de yema is a traditional sweet bread known for its soft, fluffy texture and rich flavor due to the use of egg yolks (yema) in the dough. The yolks are cooked with a sugar syrup to make an egg yolk custard, which is enveloped in anise-flavored dough and braided and shaped into a ring. It is typically enjoyed during festive occasions and holidays. The bread is often glazed with a sugar syrup or egg glaze and topped with a dusting of sugar. The use of egg yolks gives the rosca its distinct yellow hue and a delicate, tender crumb, making it a popular treat in Portuguese cuisine. It was invented by a local baker in 1958.
