Pan Dulce

Pan dulce is definitely one of my favorite foods. In fact, my Instagram name is inspired it. Those cold nights spent eating bread and drinking hot chocolate with my family are the best. Even just waiting and figuring out which ones I wanted was, and still is, an adventure. Each one has its own texture, smell, and taste

Pan dulce translates to sweet bread in English. Even though it is considered to be a Mexican cuisine, pan dulce originated from the Spaniards and the French bringing the tradition of wheat-flour pastries. Some of the most commonly known bread are conchas (shells), marranitos (pigglets), and orejas (ears). Some pan dulce are even associated with holidays and traditions. Pan de muerto (bread of the dead) is associated with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and Rosca de Reys is associated with Dia de los Reyes (Three Kings Day).
