It is often served fresh and is a staple in many Brazilian households, commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack throughout the day. The bread is typically shaped into small rolls and is sometimes referred to as "pãozinho." This bread is usually made from simple ingredients, including flour, water, yeast, and salt. It is often paired with various fillings, such as cheese, ham, or butter, making it a versatile option for meals. Many bakeries in Brazil specialize in making fresh pão francês daily, contributing to its widespread popularity.
