Pan dulce is a traditional Mexican sweet bread that comes in various shapes, sizes, and flavors. It is often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, typically accompanied by hot chocolate or coffee. The bread is characterized by its soft texture and sugary toppings, which can include colorful icing or a crumbly topping known as mantequilla. Common varieties of pan dulce include conchas, which have a shell-like pattern, and cuernitos, shaped like horns. These treats are popular in bakeries across Mexico and among the Mexican diaspora, making them a beloved part of Mexican cuisine.
