Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay

[edit]

In Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, pan felipe (Felipe bread) is a commonly eaten French bread roll.

In Uruguay, there's a denser version known as pan marsellés (Marseilles bread). The Marseille bread called pan marsellés in Uruguay is different from the Brazilian pão francês. The Brazilian type is less dense and lighter and crispier. However the Uruguayan version is made with a denser bread dough resulting in a harder bread (similar to Italian bread), with the crust covered in maize flour before baking.

In Bolivia and Chile, the beloved marraqueta is sometimes called pan francés. In Peru, the term pan francés (or sometimes called pan francés peruano) is different from the marraqueta.[2]

Pão francês is known by several names throughout Brazil, such as cacetinho, pãozinho (little bread), pão de trigo (wheat bread), pão de sal (salt bread), pão de água (water bread), pão aguado (watery bread), careca, and pão Jacó (Jacó bread). It is commonly found in delis and bakeries throughout Brazil.[3][4]
