In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, the French Legation State Historic Site is partnering with local bakery, Joe's Bakery + Coffee, to explore the history and connection of pan dulce and East Austin.
Taste and learn about the history of Mexican baking and pan dulce! Pan dulce is a wide category of Mexican sweet bread that includes upwards of 2000 different types and has been inspired by French baking techniques.
