Churrascas Chilean Stovetop Bread

Churrascas Chilean Quick Stove BreadA traditional Chilean stovetop bread: Churrascas are inexpensive, simple to prepare, and delicious. The perfect solution for the days when I can not buy bread or want to remember old times.
It is the same recipe used in Chile for the “Tortilla de rescoldo,” a bread cook on ashes, this version uses vegetable oil instead of lard. Lard would be more traditional.
These quick bread become hard when cold and should be eaten immediately.

With this recipe, I participated in the monthly challenge at BRBC, where we cooked bread and Chilean sandwiches.

      No recomiendo hacerlas con anticipación, se ponen duras, las puedes mantener tibias en el horno a 100C o 200F. Suerte.
