In the Philippines, the type of bread known as Spanish bread, which is a moist and soft bread filled with margarine and sugar, is one such dish as it has nothing to do with the Spanish cuisine. The bread is a Filipino breakfast staple food whose making is similar to that of cinnamon and is just as popular as ensyamada, Pan De Coco and Pandesal. Apart from breakfasts, the bread is also popular during tea time or marienda and is normally served accompanied by milk or tea. Being a popular breakfast and tea time delicacy, this bread can be got from any bakery in the Philippines.
Brown sugar, eggs, margarine, breadcrumbs, milk and water are some of the common ingredients used in the making of the bread. The dough is first flattened then the fillings applied on the surface of the dough. The dough is then rolled. The resulting stout like stick has a close resemblance to the Mexican bigote, which is essentially moustache shaped dough. The rolled dough is then baked to yield the sweet tasting Spanish bread. The bread comes in a variety of colors from white to yellow as well as types. However, the procedure for making the bread is the same regardless of the type. This sweet tasting bread is the ideal accompaniment to any drink from coffee, milk to soft drinks such as soda. The sweet taste of the bread also means that it does not require any kind of spreads.
