The bread was definitely too dry when 5 cups were used. Next time I'll cut it down like others. But other than that, a great recipe. I will definitely try again.

Nothing like traditional Pan Dulce (AKA Pan De Huevo)i grew up eating in San Andtonio, but over all a decent roll with or without the topping. I added a bit of water to the topping and flattened it into disks the same size as the rolls and cut designs,as this is more traditional and looks nicer

This was gorgeous. We're having a Mexican themed new year (07-08) and I wanted to go a little further than Tequila! I didn't get the pink look despite adding red food colouring and a touch of cinnamon. For some reason, the dough didn't rise well but I'm unfamiliar with American recipes and I;ll try it agin with the metric measurement to report back!! Would vanilla seeds be an acceptable addition to the dough?

Love it! Easy to make when you make the dough in the bread machine! I can't wait to make this again!

I live in Phoenix, AZ so it's not difficult to find these in the stores. I've always wanted to make them but been intimidated by the number of steps. The soft fluffy rolls are so worth it! Not as dense as I seem to find in the stores. I think next time I will try adding a little anise seed to the dough like you find in the bakeries. I did end up using the egg white leftover from using yolks in the topping to glaze the buns before topping them, it helped the crumb topping stay on and gave the areas that showed thru a nice glossy appearance. Thank you for the great recipe & instructions! Will definitely be a keeper.

I am from Guatemala and I live here, so you can imagine that I eat Pan Dulce, some call it Pan de Manteca, but not as much as I would like because it shows in the hips:)!. I love the taste and it is a comfort food in the afternoon. Just to share how we eat the Pan Dulce: 1. With a hot cup of coffee! the regular one. Break the bread in half, with your hands, and pour it in the coffee a few seconds to make it moist, just the piece you are going to bite, repeat after each bite. This is the most authentic and popular way to eat it. 2. I particularly like to slice the bread and spread some butter on the bottom slice, place the top and eat with the coffee way (1). My mom always told me that this is the most delicious way to eat Pan Dulce but you can only do it when you are alone or in the company of close frinds. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Here's a tip: bake 15mins if you want a soft, melt in your mouth topping, and bake 20mins if you want a crispier/chewy topping. Hope it helps!

This was a very good recipe and everyone who tasted them complemented me. I found them to be a little dry myself, but I think I may have made them too big so they seemed that way. The taste was delicious though.

EXCELLENT!!! I must have make mine smaller then intended, I ended up with 22 and they were a good size! I bet they'd be even better with a little honey drizzled over them...

Very tasty. A little dense, but still very good!

Great recipe! Made this for my daughter's Spanish class food day and everyone loved it. Used 4 1/2 cups of flour in bread machine as suggested by others. One suggestion is to flatten about 1 tablespoon of topping between parchment paper, spray the top with a little water, place on top and pat it down a bit around the edges. Thanks for a great recipe!

Bread was easy to make, topping was delicious. All it needs is a tad more sugar in the dough. Thank you for posting.

I only used 4 cups of flour per the previous reviews and added a few tablespoons of milk to the topping to make it more spreadable rather than crumbly. These were so yummy, I have already passed on the recipe to a few of my friends!

I wasn't sure what to expect, as I've never eaten Pan Dulce, but these were very good! I appreciated the other reviews, especially about the topping. Mine was very sticky, so I just spread it on thickly and was delighted with the crunch and flavor! I'm bringing them to a Mexican friend for the ultimate taste test!

If the stampede back to the baking pan for seconds was any indication that these were delicious, I would say Pan Dulces rated all five stars...thanks for the great recipe!

these have a great texture and flavor, so much fresher than store bought. I made these and they were gone in no time.I used about 4-41/2 cups of flour as others suggested the only problem I had was spreading the topping as others suggested, it flattened them out some next time I will try crumbling it over the tops instead.great recipe, thanks

These were great. The bread had that awesome sweet, doughy flavor, and the topping added a nice sweet crunch. I was impatient and hungry so I didn't let the dough rise for a full 40 minutes the second time around, and instead of putting them on 2 sheets I put them on one cookie sheet. I put a lot of topping on each roll as there was plenty to go around, and baked them for 23 minutes before they were browned. Delicious! Will definitely make these again.
