Pan francés peruano

Peruvian pan francés is a small, oval-shaped roll with a golden-brown crust made with only flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt. It is distinguished by a notable indentation down its center, creating a signature look. And although the name translates as "French bread", the Peruvian pan francés is nothing like French bread.


This bread is a staple in many Peruvian households and serves as the foundation for the famed butifarra sandwich.
