Spanish Bread is a favorite Filipino afternoon snack or ‘merienda’ that can be bought in many local bakeries or ‘panaderia’ in the Philippines. It is a delicious and sweet soft bread roll with a buttery and sugary filling, then rolled in bread crumbs to create a lightly crunchy coating, and baked to golden perfection.
The Spaniards have introduced this type of bread in the Philippines. Then, the Filipinos adopted this bread and love it as their own. With Filipinos’ creativity, different varieties, shapes, and fillings of bread were developed.
