Papo secos

Papo secos, also known as Portuguese rolls, are light and airy bread rolls popular in Portuguese cuisine. These rolls are made from common bread ingredients including yeast, sugar, flour, salt, water, and butter, with a little milk brushed on top before baking. In Portugal, these rolls are ubiquitous in bakeries and homes and are often referred to as carcaça. They are distinguished by their oblong shape and a characteristic crease down the middle, making them perfect for sandwiches, toasties, or as a delicious accompaniment to meals, especially the famous bifanas, which is a type of Portuguese sandwich.
