(Redirected from Bolillos)
A 'bolillo' is a type of bread traditionally made in Mexico, El Salvador, Portugal, and Brazil. In Brazil it is known as ''pão francês'' or ''pão de sal''. In New Jersey, USA it is also known as portuguese bread. It is considered a variation of the baguette. In some places of Mexico it is also known as "Pan de Agua" (water bread)
It is about 6 inches long, in the shape of an oval, with a crunchy crust and a soft inside, known as migajón. It is the main ingredient for the tortas and the molletes. A variation of the bolillo is the ''telera'', which is very similar, though it has a rounder shape, it is divided in three sections, and it is often a bit softer.
