Bread Baking Day #27 Latin Bread

Since this month’s theme was up to me, and “sweet breads” had already taken their turn, I decided to spice things up and have us all try our hand at Latin Bread / Pan Latino! You probably don’t have a favorite bread originating from Latin America set & ready to go for this month, so let me give you just a bit of direction. Latin America is the region of the Americas where the “romance” languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French) are primarily spoken and includes the following countries:

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela

So, for the month of February we are going to enjoy breads from any and all of these nations! Open up your cookbooks, check the internet, ask your abuelita…and bake some Latin bread!
