Olive Ham Bread brings together the sweet, robust flavor of baked ham with the tangy, smoky flavor of pimento olives and combines them in a light and fluffy bread. Slicing through this bread, fresh out of the oven, the confetti of ham and olives scattered throughout the loaf will dazzle the little ones, as well.

For those that want something completely different, try Pan Verde. Bright fresh spinach is whipped up with habanero jack cheese, and then combined with sweet caramelized onion and baked to a heavenly golden perfection.

Garlic Chorizo Bread, a true testament to the homemade over pre-made debate, this bread is full of flavor thanks to smoked and cured chorizo. Garlic adds just the right amount of depth to the bread’s flavor profile. 

Whichever you choose, you can dip it in olive oil, have a slice with your lunch salad, or use it to make a heavenly sandwich. The possibilities are endless. Plus, your casa will smell incredible. Who can say no to that?
