context_page_description: Pan dulce is the name for a variety of Hispanic pastries. The creation of sweet bread was influenced by the French and Spaniards, who introduced baked goods such as crispy rolls, baguettes, and sweet pastries to Central America and Mexico. This inspired the indigenous peoples to create different types of panes dulces such as besos, conchas, and cuernos, among others. The bread is considered to be one of Latin America's most inexpensive treats and is consumed daily as breakfast or late supper, known as merienda.
context_section_description: The creative contribution of French baked goods to Mexico's cuisine peaked in the early 20th century during the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. Skilled Mexican bakers adopted French techniques to create new bread designs with colorful names. Today, Mexican bakers are among the most inventive in the world; it is estimated that there are between 500 and 2,000 types of bread currently produced in Mexico. Among these are:
