Chilean Bread Rolls Recipe

Pan amasado is a chilean favorite, a comfort food akin to homemade biscuits. These rolls are soft and tender and almost melt in your mouth. Made with milk, butter, shortening, yeast, and flour, pan amasado is simple to prepare and can be eaten any time of day. They are delicious at breakfast spread with butter or avocado or topped with scrambled eggs, or with coffee or hot chocolate as part of a light afternoon meal (called merienda or once). These rolls are also a tasty appetizer when crowned with pebre (chilean salsa). Of course, you can slice in half and stuff with ham and cheese or other sandwich fillings if you like.
