Bola de Berlim · Braga
Portuguese filled doughnut: yeasted dough deep-fried golden, rolled in sugar, slit and filled with creme de ovos (egg-yolk custard). Braga's pastelarias make some of the country's finest versions.
Bola de Berlim arrived in Portugal with German and central European refugees fleeing the 1930s and 1940s, who adapted the Berliner doughnut tradition to Portuguese tastes by adding the well-known creme de ovos (egg-yolk custard) filling. Braga's Catholic pastry tradition produced exceptional egg-yolk-cream versions; Frigideiras do Cantinho and Docaria São Vicente bake them daily. The dish is a Portuguese beach-boardwalk classic in summer and a year-round pastelaria staple in Braga.
