Spanish bread is a popular Filipino pastry with Spanish influences, known for its soft, fluffy texture and sweet, buttery filling. Made from an enriched dough of flour, sugar, milk, yeast, and butter, it’s rolled with a filling typically composed of butter, sugar, and breadcrumbs, creating its signature sweet and slightly crunchy interior. Often enjoyed as a breakfast or merienda (snack), Spanish bread pairs well with coffee or tea. While it’s a delightful treat, the pastry is relatively high in refined carbohydrates and sugar, making moderation key for those mindful of their sugar intake. On the healthier side, its serving of carbohydrates can provide an energy boost, and incorporating whole-grain flour or reducing sugar in homemade versions can improve its nutritional profile. Beloved for its comforting flavor and aroma, Spanish bread remains a staple in Filipino households and bakeries.
