Portuguese papo-secos are traditional crusty rolls, widely enjoyed in Portugal and its former colonies. These rolls have a light, airy interior and a crisp, golden-brown crust, making them perfect for sandwiches or as an accompaniment to meals. The dough is made from simple ingredients: flour, water, yeast, and salt, and is typically shaped into small, oval rolls with a distinctive crease down the middle, which helps create their unique texture. After shaping, the rolls are left to rise and then baked at a high temperature, resulting in their characteristic crust. Papo-secos are often served warm, with a slightly chewy texture inside, and are beloved for their versatility. They can be enjoyed with butter, cheese, meats, or simply on their own, making them a staple in Portuguese cuisine.
