What it is
Pan de Pasas is a type of sweet bread that is enriched with raisins. It is often made with a soft, slightly sweet dough that bakes into a tender loaf. The raisins are distributed throughout the bread, providing bursts of natural sweetness and a chewy texture. This bread is a popular choice for breakfast or as a snack.

Pan de Pasas can be enjoyed straight from the package, or it can be enhanced with a few simple preparations. Toasting slices brings out a pleasant crispness and warmth, making it ideal for spreading with butter or jam.
