Introduced to Hawaiʻi by Portuguese sugar workers during the 19th century, sweetbread has become a time-honored favorite among residents and visitors alike. Our delicately sweet and moist Hawaiian sweetbread at Punaluʻu Bake Shop originated from a traditional family recipe. When the recipe was adapted and prepared at a resort restaurant in Punaluʻu (Kaʻu District on the Big Island of Hawaii) in the 1970s, the sweetbread was an instant hit. To keep visitors and kamaʻaina supplied with this popular favorite, the Punaluʻu Bake Shop was opened in 1991.
