Peruvian Bread?

Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie and was wondering if any of you had some recipes for peruvian breads?  Specifically andean/highland breads?

In my travels I have tasted some yummy stuff and one of the best breakfasts I have ever had was

pan taparaco con nata miel and cafe con leche

basically a really hard crunchy toast ( i think it is twice baked) loaded with the solids that form when you heat raw milk and honey and a cup of coffee with milk.

 

i dream about this bread and can't seem to find a recipe for it.

hopefully one of you can help and know what I am talking about.

 

thanks in advance

Hello! I am too looking for a recipe to make this delicious bread! I can’t believe no one answered you since 2009. I found a YouTube video on the preparation of pan Taparaco in Spanish. I have not yet tried to bake it but the way the baker designed the bread looks different than what I’m used to which is what you probably ate. I will leave you the link and see if we both have some luck and can finally eat some pan Taparaco. If you want to recreate that nata con miel find a farm that can sell you unpasteurized whole milk and boil it and then let it cool the fat will float and carefully you can take the fat off with a big spoon and that is nata. https://youtu.be/idJhHV52JT8

if you have found any other recipes for this bread or any other breads from the Andes of Peru please let me know! I’m from cusco and live in the US so I am also trying to bake some of my childhood’s breads!
