There's nothing better than freshly baked bread with butter and coffee. As the saying goes: "where there was bread, crumbs remain."
In Puerto Rico, our bakeries, traditional and artisan alike, keep that ritual alive.
Both honor the craft of bread, but artisan bakeries stand out for their focus on process. "The fermentation processes are longer… the hands-on work with the dough is what sets artisan baking apart," explains Javier Pagán Peña of La Hormiga, who adds that he is still surprised by everything you can achieve with just flour, water and salt.
When you try the offerings at these bakeries, you may not leave a single crumb on your plate.
Who wouldn't find their mouth watering?
With so many bakeries to choose from, it's hard to pick just one. Our advice is to follow them all and not miss the chance to try their specialties. Treat yourself!
