Pan Dulce is a main staple food in Mexico and other Latin American Countries. In the early 1800's the French introduced crispy rolls, baguettes, and rich pastries to Mexico. The French occupation of Mexico ended at the battle of Cinco de Mayo but the love for French bread stayed. As the demand grew for this new bread, Mexican bakers quickly adopted the French techniques to make their own varieties. Everyone in Mexico seems to have a favorite, and there are many to choose from. It is said that the varieties of Pan Dulce number in the thousands and they all usually have a funny name. Some are the same shapes as you would find in France today but with a Mexicanized name. Since the price of bread is inexpensive and very filling, it has since become a daily meal for many known as "merienda". Whether you need something to go with your coffee or champurrado pan dulce makes the perfect choice! |
