Pan Dulces, also known as sweet bread, are a traditional Mexican baked treat that is popular throughout Central and South America. This recipe produces soft, slightly sweet bread rolls with a crumbly topping that is perfect for breakfast or as a snack throughout the day. They are often enjoyed alongside Mexican hot chocolate or coffee. Making these treats from scratch is a fun and rewarding process that can bring family and friends together over a warm and satisfyingly sweet treat.

3.Mix in the salt and eggs.

7.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
