Pueblo Bread Recipe

In New Mexico, the native Pueblo tribe usually makes the Pueblo bread recipe. So, the origin of this recipe is in Mexico. And it’s a traditional bread recipe in New Mexico. 

The Pueblo bread tastes so good and is different from the regular ones that I eat every day. It’s because this bread is made of some unique ingredients, for example, lard and butter.

But, it’s a bread recipe made for commercial purposes in the bakeries in a large arrangement. Still, if you want to try it at home, you can. Here’s our Pueblo oven bread recipe guide. Let’s get started. 

Pueblo Oven Bread Ingredients

All-Purpose Flour (6 Cups)

Flour is the key ingredient in making a bread or cake-type recipe. Since we’ll make the bread recipe, we require flour. So, 6 cups of flour will be required for today’s recipe. 

Sugar (¼ Cup)

Apply a little amount of sugar so that the recipe won’t be excessively sweet. Just to bring a slightly sweet flavor, you can add ¼ cup of sugar. Again, if you want to add an extraordinary flavor, substitute sugar with ¼ cup of honey. It depends on your taste. 

Salt (½ Tsp)

Besides a slightly sweet taste, the bread should have a light salty flavor. So, you also need to take ½ tsp of salt.

Dry Yeast (7 Grams)

Yeast is a single egg-shaped tiny fungus you cannot see without a microscope. It’s essential to add yeast to the Pueblo bread ingredients to make the dough rise properly. Because yeast creates carbon Di Oxide and leads the dough to rise well.  So, 7 grams of yeast will be needed for this bread recipe.

Hot Water (1 ½ Cups)

Water is the solvent agent to make a soft dough and also to solvent the yeast before making your bread recipe. For 6 cups of flour, you need 1 ½ cups of hot water.

Shortening (½ Tbsp)

To give a crispy and crumbled texture to the Pueblo bread, shortening is the right ingredient. It helps the dough to be separated into layers and creates a flaky texture. So, take ½ tbsp of shortening.
