Pan dulce is Mexican sweet bread, a panaderia case of conchas with their crackled shell-shaped topping, marranitos shaped like little pigs, empanadas, and bigote.
Pan dulce arrived with Mexican baking traditions and became a fixture of San Antonio's West Side panaderias and Market Square. Mi Tierra has baked it around the clock since 1941, and family bakeries across the city keep the conchas, marranitos, and seasonal pan de muerto coming. The self-serve tray-and-tongs ritual is a daily part of Mexican-American life in the city.
