Traditional Pandebono (Colombian Style Cheese bread) is one of my favorite Colombian breads. Since moving to the United States almost 20 years ago, when I’m craving any of my favorite Colombian breads, I must make them myself, being that there are no Colombian bakeries nearby.
So… I bake!
I love this particular version of pandebono stuffed with guava paste. The combination of salty cheese with sweet guava paste is absolutely delicious. It makes a perfect breakfast bread, and is also an amazing dessert to have with tea or coffee. I could eat these every single day for the rest of my life!
If you like pandebonos and guava paste (and who doesn’t?!), you MUST make these!
Buen provecho!

Aren’t these shaped as what is referred to as an almohabana? Aren’t the pan de bono the donut shaped bread?

Hi! What if I don’t have a food processor? Can I use the blender o just do it by hand? Thanks.
