How to Make Mexican Breakfast Bread Recipes 

When I learned how to make Mexican breakfast bread recipes, I found the most popular is the corn tortilla. It is as common to the Mexican breakfast as bread or toast is here in the United States. They are used to fold up eggs, chorizo sausage, ham, bacon, cheese or whatever is available to make breakfast tacos and burritos. Breakfast tostados (like our open face sandwich) made with corn tortillas are also popular.  Corn tortillas date back ten thousand years and they are easy to make with unleavened dough.


I also learned how to make Mexican breakfast bread recipes including many sweet breads. As in most countries these breads are a welcome sight to the breakfast table. Not only are they delicious but can conveniently be made ahead of time. They are handy for people on the go to grab and eat on the way. They are often laden with nuts and other delectable fruits.

As I learned how to make Mexican breakfast bread recipes, I found many to include fried dough. Who doesn’t love fried dough? Along the line of what we call donuts (also spelled doughnuts) here in the United States, are the churros and sopapillas in Mexico. Both are equally delicious! The churros, a quick bread, are piped onto a tray from a pastry bag. A slight freezing makes them easy to drop in hot oil to fry. The sopapillas are made with yeast dough, rolled cut in squares and then deep fried. Choosing between these two recipes is like us choosing between cake and yeast donuts.
