About the dish

Pan trenza is a traditional braided bread made with a combination of flour, sugar, salt, yeast, oil, and eggs. Apart from these basic ingredients, some people also like to add guava, raisins, or cheese to the bread in order to enrich it with more flavor. Once the dough has been prepared, it is rolled into strands, braided, brushed with egg wash, then baked until golden brown. This simple bread can be found in most bakeries throughout Colombia.
