Portuguese Peasant Bread - Pão Saloio

Being in WI, I am far from any Portuguese market and if there is one thing I DO miss is good bread. Sure there are lots of great bakeries around the area. But am I going to be spending $4 on a good loaf of bread when I can make it at home for less than a third of it? I am frugal, so whenever I can I WILL try to save and do things myself.

These rolls are amazing to enjoy with your meal as well as for sandwiches for your kids to take to school.
