Chilean Country Bread is what country ladies bake every day at home for their families or to sell. It never tastes the same to me if you buy it at a bakery. Most Chileans enjoy this bread when on vacation: at the lake or at the beach. Sometimes is improved with pig cracklings knead into the dough, you can use fried bacon if you feel indulgent.
The rolls have a sturdier interior than American rolls.
Most common toppings or uses for Chilean Country Bread:
- For breakfast with scrambled eggs, avocado
- Serve cut for an appetizer with Pebre
- On sandwich: with ham and cheese for picnics, or at restaurants as Chacareros (steak, tomato, green beans) or Barros Luco (steak and melted cheese)

para que se active a levadura necesita azúcar ….
No siempre, lo hace más rápido, pero las levaduras se alimentan de cualquier carbohidrato, por ejemplo la harina.
Thank you! This recipe is perfect and they came out so good 🙂

I Can’t get yeast . can I use natural yogurt with bicarbonate de soda in stead of yeast ?
What quantities do I need .?
Thanks
You can try, wouldn’t be traditional, but. 1 teaspoon soda???
Hola! Los hice y quedaron ricos de sabor y consistencia bien pero no se inflaron mucho, quedaron más planos que los de tu foto. Que habrá pasado?
Igual es mi primera vez haciendo pan y A todos les gusto!
Gracias!
Puede ser que el horno no haya estado suficientemente caliente. Siempre prenderlo unos 20 minutos antes o bien que le falto tiempo a la levadura, hay que esperar que doble su tamaño, no te guíes tanto por el tiempo.
Hola Pili. Una pregunta . Cual es el valor nutricional de Pan amasado y se puede hacer whole wheat flour? Mil gracias
No sé el valor nutricional, lo siento. Lo puedes hacer con whole wheat, partiría con mitad y mitad de harina.
I’m making this for the second time, this recipe is so easy to follow. And the bread has been very delicious
I’m so glad you are enjoying it!
Hi! Quick question I love this recipe… If it’s too sticky do I add more flour? Thank you!!
Hi, no, you need to knead more. If you are working by hand it’s a lot of kneading.
Awesome … easy to make and turns out
