Pan Dulce, Sweet Bread Heaven
Written by Marla Trevino on June 27, 2009 – 8:44 am -
Panaderia’s are the closets things to bakery heaven in my opinion, but then again I was brought up visiting these establishments since birth. When my parents would take me to visit relatives we would go by the Panaderia. When people were coming over we would go to the Panaderia, on the weekends, guess what, Panaderia.
I don’t visit these bakeries as much anymore, so when I walked into one locally here in Houston, TX, it pretty much took over my senses. My eyes, my nose, everything. I could not focus on what my friend was saying at the time. I was completely overwhelmed by all the display cases that held some very fragrant baked goods. I did the only think I could and clicked away on my phone and took some pictures of the cool space.
I love the whole process of collecting my pan dulce at the Panaderia. You walk around with a round flat tin pan and a pair of tongs. When you see something you like, you grab it and place it on your pan. Before you know it, your pan is piled high and your wondering who the hell is going to eat this.
If you get a chance and you can visit one in your area, you must. The beautiful Panaderia in these pictures is called El Bollio Bakery, located at:
2517 Airline Drive
Houston, TX 77009
