bolillo bread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole wheat bread offers more fiber and nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Slice the bolillo bread into 1-inch thick pieces.

Toast the bread in the oven until golden brown, checking every minute to avoid burning.

In a saucepan, combine 4 glasses of water, 1 medium piloncillo, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1/2 onion, and 5 peppers; simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add 2 Roma tomatoes to the saucepan and cover.

Check the bread every 5 minutes to ensure it is golden brown.

Once the water is boiling, add more water if needed to maintain flavor.

Grate cheese to taste.

Strain the syrup from the saucepan and add the raisins to the syrup before layering.
