About Semita pan dulce

Semita Pan Dulce is a traditional pastry from Central America, particularly popular in El Salvador and neighboring countries. This sweet bread typically features a layered texture with a soft, slightly dense dough made from wheat flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and butter or lard. Its hallmark topping is a crust of sesame seeds, which add nutty flavor and crunch. Often filled with jam, like pineapple or guava, Semita is a favorite for breakfast or dessert. While it provides energy due to its carbohydrate content, Semita is high in sugar and fat, making it more of an indulgent treat than a staple food. The sesame seeds contribute some protein, healthy fats, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. Enjoyed in moderation, Semita represents a delicious slice of tradition and culture.
