Join us for a tour of the sweet bread of Mexico, Latin and South America as we take a new pastry each week to discuss and share history, our favorites, and other fun facts! Call store for availability.
Don’t be fooled by this familiar shape! While it may look like the traditional Mexican concha, this pan de canela (cinnamon bread) has a completely different taste and texture inside. It is dense, but when flavored with freshly ground stick of cinnamon – delicious!
Pan de canela is not only one of our best sellers, in Mexico it is also a favorite, especially dipped in milk or eaten with coffee. In fact, there are many shapes of this cinnamon bread base with different finishes – guisanos (“worms”) sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and croissants, wrapped in the buttery sugar topping, to name a few.
Keep your eye out in future weeks for a cinnamon bread with a different twist!
