marraquetas-(chilean-baguette)

Hola Chile! Como estas mi gente?! Marraquetas is such a fantastic bread. A little while ago, I noticed some Chilean peeps on my account, so I decided to go on a little research bender - checking out their traditional breads. I found the Marraquetas is one of the coolest breads I've ever made. Marraquetas is considered the Chilean Baguette. One theory suggests that two brothers called "Marraquette" arrived from France (around late 19th and early 20th century, when Europeans immigrated to Chile) and used to make this bread, which came to be called the Marraquetas. But what is most exciting about this historic bread? The shaping technique! They use a thin stick or a pencil to flatten the middle of two buns together in order to create a bread that is easily divided into 4 pieces. No knife is needed to cut this bread. You can share it with your peeps and enjoy it all together. How COOL is this bread ah?
