Description

A sweet Spanish egg bread. I enjoy buying pan dulce. I don’t know if I will ever make it but I can say that at one time someone made me the most delicious bread I have ever had in my life, and I still remember it. So if you’re in the market to impress, you may want to give this recipe a spin. The photo I use is by Joy the Baker. She adapted a sweet egg bread recipe and made a pretty cute recipe. www.joythebaker.com/blog/2008/09/pan-dulce/
