Spanish bread (Philippines)

Common card · No. 304442

Spanish bread, also known as señorita bread or pan de kastila, is a Filipino bread roll characteristically oblong or cylindrical in shape with a traditional sweet filling made of breadcrumbs, butter or margarine, and brown sugar. It is usually yellowish in color due to the use of eggs and butter. The exterior is sprinkled with breadcrumbs. It is one of the most popular types of bread in the Philippines, usually part of the "Filipino bread basket" with the pan de coco and pan de sal, commonly served for breakfast or merienda. Despite the name, it does not originate from Spain and has no relation to the Spanish pan de horno (also called "Spanish bread").
