Mogolla chicharrona

Mogolla chicharrona is a traditional bread originating from the region of Cundinamarca. Although it is small in size, the bread packs some serious flavor because it is stuffed with tiny pieces of chicharrón, also known as crispy pork belly.

The bread is made with flour, yeast, salt, sugar, butter, eggs, and chicharrónes. Before baking, the dough is usually brushed with beaten eggs and melted butter. Mogolla chicharrona is served warm, typically for breakfast, but it can also make for a nice mid-afternoon snack with a cup of coffee on the side.
