Portuguese term or phrase: pâo de caseiro
Hi,

I am translating a marketing text about how to reduce cholesterol, and there are lists of food equivalents. One of them goes:

1 carcaça =

=1 bola mistura =1 fatia de ***pâo de caseiro*** = 1/2 pâo integral = 4 tostas ou bolachas àgua e sal quadradas = 5 bolachas Maria torrada, integral ou àgua e sal redondas

I have also posted "carcaça" and ***bola mistura*** as a separate questions.

Is pâo de caseiro = pâo caseiro?

I should already have delivered this job, so if anyone who knows Portuguese food can help straight away I'll be eternally grateful!!

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Asker: Thanks Mark! You'll get the points in 24 hours :-( --- thanks for confirming, I guess it is indeed a mistake as my doc was a final draft for preview/approval by client!

Explanation:
Traduzir pão caseiro como homemade bread é uma maneira muito simplista e literal.
O pão caseiro não é mais do que um pão feito com a chamada farinha de pão caseiro. É uma massa branca menos arejada do que a carcaça o que no fim produz um pão mais compacto.

Quando se diz Homemade Bread, a ideia (errada) que fica é que o pão é feito em casa. Na realidade, pão caseiro pode ser comprado em qualquer padaria , em Portugal.
