Pan amasado

Pan amasado is a small, round, flat loaf of white bread from Chile, traditionally prepared in rural areas in wood-fired clay ovens. It is a staple of most Chilean meals due to its low price. The name pan amasado means kneaded bread, referring to the method of its production. The bread is prepared with lard or shortening, giving it a soft and tender texture. It can usually be bought from roadside vendors on the outskirts of bigger cities or in rural areas.
