Jean Anouilh (1910-1987)
Although popular all around Central America, this version of the Sweet Buttery Bread stuffed with jam is found in El Salvador. SEMITAS De Dulce is so famous, you can find it in bakeries throughout Central America and when walking around touring this small country but a fast growing one, you can see street vendors with their version..
It’s so much fun researching and cooking something you haven’t heard of. I have absolutely no clue how the original tastes like, but this was a winner, especially when your preteen and his friends rave about it. As always, when your big kid comes and asks you to make something for school, I jumped at his request.
One thing I would surely do next time is be a little patient for my bread dough to proof well…urgency doesn’t cut it for bread based recipes…
It’s perfect with a cup of coffee and travels really well, keeps good at room temp for up to 4 days(if it last:))…
These both look and taste extremely sweet! I remember when I asked my mom to make these, and since there were leftovers, we all had some really nice dessert. 🙂
So many wonderful stories and recipes, not sure what to try out first.
