Recipe of the traditional bread buses

Gastronomic traditions are part of our culture; therefore, we must always remember their dates and what is linked to them. In gastronomy we have several, and today, Sunday, we are days away from celebrating All Souls Day, which leads us to the preparation of colada morada and guaguas de pan, two products rooted in our culinary culture for decades, which we could well prepare. at any time of the year, since we always have the ingredients, but it is in this month when by tradition we decide to make them, and that is what makes them so special.

Maintaining its elaboration and traditional recipes is important, although everyone does it in their own style, and that is the fun. Your product also lends itself to adapting it to others, like last year, when in this section we presented the cheesecake of mortiño. The buses have multiple dough recipes, ranging from the most basic to doughs enriched with butter, milk, sugar, honey, eggs and stuffed, which leads us to a pastry category bread.

For this week we have an easy and delicious recipe for guaguas de pan from our bakery recipe book at La Escuela de los Chefs.
