Does anybody know how to make Marquesote bread ....?!
Answers: It is a Honduran (Central American Country) bread made with eggs. Can You give the recipe please? any one from Honduras if you have it?
This is a Mexican recipe, but I would guess it is similar
Marquesote
6 egg whites
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cake flour, sifted 3 times
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Heavily butter an 8-inch square pan. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Beat whites until very stiff. Beat cream stiff, then add sugar to it a little at a time, folding it in until all the sugar is used. Fold whites into the cream mixture by the large spoonful, very carefully, alternating with spoonsful of the flour and the vanilla extract. Work as lightly and as gently as you can. Pour mixture into the buttered pan and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until it is pale golden on top.
At the end of the baking time, open the door carefully and look. If it is golden, test with a thin sharp knife. If the knife comes out clean, the cake is done.
When the cake is done, turn the oven off, close door very gently, and let the cake cool in the oven.
When cold, cut it into ladyfinger strips to serve. The bottom is jelly-like and the top is like meringue.

In Mexico, Marquesote is a type of cake.
HONDURAN MARQUESOTE EGG BREAD:
3 cups water (lukewarm)
2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons “instant” yeast (fast rise)
2 eggs
enough flour to make a workable dough (7-8 cups)
Mix yeast and 4 cups of flour. In a separate bowl whip eggs, sugar, oil and water. Add yeast/flour mixture and blend well; add remaining flour and salt.
The recipe doesn’t say this; but I knead it until the dough is nice and smooth and feels ready, (you will know when it gets there).
Let rise for 15 minutes. Punch down, do not knead. Let rise for another 15 minutes, punch down and form into either bread or buns, put into greased pans. Let rise for 1 hour.
Bake in a 350° F. oven for 15-18 minutes for buns, longer for bread.
This will make about 4 to 5 dozen buns depending of course on how big you make them or 2 to 3 loaves of bread.
Remove from oven and enjoy with fresh butter. Yummy.
