You heard it here first friends! I have the honor & the privilege of hosting this month’s Bread Baking Day. Bread Baking Day is a monthly event for the passionate bread bakers (that could mean passionate about your very first loaf or those of you passionate about baking each and every day). The event was started by Zorra from 1x umrühren bitte and has featured a myriad of themes all focused on bread. You can find the Birthday Bread round-up for last month’s event at Life’s a Feast.
Since this month’s theme was up to me, and “sweet breads” had already taken their turn, I decided to spice things up and have us all try our hand at Latin Bread / Pan Latino! You probably don’t have a favorite bread originating from Latin America set & ready to go for this month, so let me give you just a bit of direction. Latin America is the region of the Americas where the “romance” languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French) are primarily spoken and includes the following countries:
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela
So, for the month of February we are going to enjoy breads from any and all of these nations! Open up your cookbooks, check the internet, ask your abuelita…and bake some Latin bread!
To be a part of Bread Baking Day #27: Pan Latino, you just need to do the following by March 1st, 2010:
1. Bake bread that originates from a Latin American country (see list above).
2. Post about it on your blog with a link back to this announcement and eventually to the round-up.
4. Your recipe should be written in English or Spanish.
5. Email me at canelaycominoATgmailDOTcom and include:
- Subject: BBD #27
- Your name
- Your blog’s name and URL (permalink)
- The name of your bread, the country the bread is from and the URL (permalink)
- A 250-pixel-wide photo
A final round up will be posted on my blog on March 5, 2010. Please feel free to promote the Bread Baking Day event by adding the logo to your blog post.
This month I REALLY have to participate, I was about to last month but chickened out in the last minute. I’m thrilled about the theme! I have no idea what to bake, but as you say, it’s just about plunging into the internet ocean and swim. Hooray!
Oh yes Gorel! You definitely have to bake and I am sure you will bake up something just delicious! ~Gretchen Noelle
What a fun theme! Congrats for being this month’s host!
Thanks so much! Can’t wait to see what you bake up! ~Gretchen Noelle
How fun! Thanks for hosting this month’s event. Now, I just need to figure out what kind of bread I can make. Happy Baking everyone!
Great to hear, can’t wait to have you participate! ~Gretchen Noelle
A great theme. It makes me trying something new, something I always love!
Wonderful! Glad you will try something new this month! ~Gretchen Noelle
Hola:
Qué bonito blog y que buena idea la de este evento para BBD 27. Además es un gusto poder hacer la entrada completa en español. Una gran idea, besos y mil gracias. Estoy segura participaré.

Cool! I hope I can participate; this sounds fun! Congrats on being the host!!
I hope you can participate as well! Thanks! ~Gretchen Noelle
Wow, what a fantastic theme! I have no, absolutely NO idea what to make because none of my bread books covers Latinamerica (I double-checked that), but I find this theme really challenging and interesting, so I definitely will come up with something! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks! I think there are many ideas on the internet. I hope you enjoy this challenge! ~Gretchen Noelle
what a coincidence!
I am following Joan’s Culinary Tour 2010 through Central/South America discovering every week a new country and a new kitchen.
Already met Pupusas from El Salvador and Rosquillas from Nicaragua, but I am sure I will find something special for your BBD’s edition!
happy latin baking to all!
Yummers! Can’t wait to see what you bake up! Sounds like a wonderful tour! ~Gretchen Noelle
Thanks to Cinzia, I’m now participating in the Culinary Toru 2010, too. This is soooo interesting!

[...] Bread Baking Day war dieses Mal eine Herausfoderung für mich. Das Thema Pan Latino – Lateinamerikanisches Brot das Gretchen Noelle von canela and comino gewählt hat, rief mir als erstes in Erinnerung, dass ich von all den Vokabeln, die ich für Spanisch einmal gelernt habe, nur noch Worte kenne, die etwas mit Essen zu tun haben. Wirklich geändert haben sich meine Intressen seit der Schulzeit nicht [...]
