Glass Bread – Pa de Vidre
If you have visited Barcelona or the Catalonia region of Spain, you may have tasted Pa de Vidre, which literally means “glass bread”. There are many things that make this bread so special. The main difference is that the crust is thinner, crispier, and more delicate than a loaf of regular bread. The crumb is lighter and more open than regular bread.
How is this texture possible?
This special texture is possible because you add more water (around 110-120% hydration) and just a small quantity of sugar and olive oil to the dough. Sugar makes the crust thinner and crispier. That’s why this bread is called Pa de vidre (glass bread), because it’s so delicate that when you want to slice it, the crust breaks like glass. The olive oil not only brings Mediterranean aroma and flavor but also changes the structure of the crumb.
Pa de vidre is made in Barcelona then delivered, frozen, to local restaurants all around the world. We are thrilled to be one of the few companies able to import this bread to the USA. The texture and flavor of this bread make it ideal for sandwiches. I’s also used for many tapas such as tomato spread, olive oil, and Serrano ham. The shape is long and wide, and quite flat. You don’t really have to shape it. Just divide the dough, stretch with your fingers, and let the magic happen.
Here is more info about the bread.
