- Welcome to Jeff & Jo's Puerto Rican Kitchen, where we share easy-to-make, authentic Puerto Rican recipes. After making our Pan de Agua video, I've been on a baking craze and want to show you how to make another traditional Puerto Rican bread known as Pan Sobao (or Pan de Manteca). This bread is like the softer, sweeter cousin of Pan de Agua, and it's delicious!
Check out our blog with ingredients and step-by-step here: www.jeffandjopr.com/post/home...
Ingredients:
½ cup water, lukewarm
4 ½ tsp yeast (2 packets)
1 tbs sugar
4 - 4 ½ cups bread flour (at least 12 grams of protein per cup)
¼ cup sugar
1 ½ tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk, cold
3 tbs vegetable shortening (or lard)

I just tried this recipe and it is DELICIOUS!!! Not only that, but it has the authentic flavor of pan sobao. The texture is soft and the flavor is slightly sweet. Just perfect.
Thank you so much!!! 😊 so happy for you!
OMG!! Is so good this bread. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe for those that lives far away from home. Thank you
My pleasure 😊
This is one of my favorite things from my childhood 🥰🥰🥰
Yay!! We love it too!
I made my "Pan sobao"
WOW, it's amazing!
My family & I loved it..
Thank you again
You are welcome!
Thank you for the tutorial! As a child, my tio Sixto would take me to every Puerto Rican grocery he knew of because of the bread. It was the bread that inspired me to learn to bake but I could never make the bread with the crust that was thick , lightly browned, and had a crust like a galleta (hardtack!). Inside the bread was wonderfully soft. It was called "pan de manteca" but the crust was much thicker than the bread you made and unlike the thinner pan de agua. Sixto would try to get the bakers to give up their recipes but they would tell him no. Have you ever experienced this bread in Puerto Rico? It is a bread that sticks to the memory!
Yes! One of my earliest memories is my mom giving me $1.25 to run into Panadería Candelaria in Mayaguez to order "una libra de pan de agua, por favor!" It was amazing!! 😍😍
Normally bread is baked with some moisture in the oven, but perhaps the panaderos’ ovens are more convection like? I have seen the rotating commercial ovens and these can cause a greater draft in the oven for a thicker crust? The higher temps can set the crust earlier while baking the inside at a slower rate while adding a nice even color on the outside? I know this “pan sobao” is something I’d want to figure out as well.
Love this recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊 Nothing quite like the experience of homemade bread.
What an amazing looking bread! I need to try that recipe!
Yes! You really need to!
Great information and demonstration! Thank you. 🌻
Thank you for watching!
Outstanding explanation, great show!
Thank you so much!!!
Great videos. I think the best on making puerto rican recipes
Thank you so much!!! So glad you enjoy them!
Thank you for sharing this video! My husband and I were just talking about looking for a recipe not too long ago, when just last night we came cross your channel. We got so excited that we tried it today with AP flour and it is delicious!
Yay!! So glad you enjoyed your pan sobao :) Homemade bread is the best!
That looks amazing. I'll have to try this recipe out. Thank you!
You are welcome! Let us know how it goes for you!
great looking bread man, can't wait to try this out
Ever since I made your pan de agua recipe, I've been trying to find a good pan sobao one too. Thank you for making this! Will be trying this out today.
That's so great to hear. So happy that you will try this one. Please let us know how it goes for you.
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen I will! I had one question about the baking process - is there any reason you didn't just use a bain-marie vs. throwing the water in the bottom of the oven? I'm a bit nervous to do this with my gas oven.
Master class in Pan Sobao
Thanks!! You should give it a try!!!
This is the best tutorial video for pan sobao that I have seen. Mines are rising for the second time right now. I can't wait to try it . Thank you!
Thank you! How did they turn out?
I just made your recipe of “Pan Sobao” WOW Thank you for the clear instructions, it helped me a lot while making it. My husband is from PR and he gave me the A Okay 👌🏻 LOVE IT 😍 Muchas gracias 😊
You are welcome!
I followed the recipes and it was fantastic. Reminds be of my recent visit to PR.

Hello, Jose from Orlando Florida. Boricua from New Jersey. I love the way you teach how to cook Puerto Rican cooking. You are a great teacher. Love your story telling of explaining the flow of cooking. Thank you...Happy cooking. I am very impressed of your English...Spanglish style.
Thank you!!!
AMAZING
GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you!! Blessings to you as well!
Hellos Jeff, I love your videos. I sawed the list of your videos Wow is complete you have everything
the list is amazing. Sending this video to my Childrens. Love arepas con coco. 🙂
Amazing!!
I have tried PLENTY of Pan Sobao recipes!! Y esta es mi favorita!! El pan me duró 2 semanas suavecito (pudo haber durado mas) pero nos lo comimos!! Lol gracias por la receta!! Me encanta lo distinta que la hacen!! Super super!! 🙌🏼
Tengo una pregunta....can I make it sweeter?? Is it possible??
Yay!!! Que bueno
Mine turned out perfect! I used mine on the bread machine!
Wow that’s wonderful to hear!!!
Did you just mix and rise using the machine? Or did you bake it completely with the machine?
Been making Sobao’s all day. I’ll have to try it with the egg and the milk. Great Chanel. 🙏🏾
Thank you!!
Ohhh habia tratado de otra persona y no me quedo cuando vi la de ustedes pense que era mas dificil y menos me quedaria! PERO TODO LO CONTRARIO gracias por compartir esta deliciosa receta!
Que bueno!!! Nos encanta escuchar estas historias ☺️☺️
WOW..
I love the way you explain the pan sobao recipe..
I'm trying this tomorrow.
We love pan sobao!
Here in TX we can't find a bakery that makes it..
Thank you again
I'll try to send a picture, once I make it..
Feliz Navidad!
Feliz Navidad!! Enjoy!!
Delicioso 😋
Indeed!!
Excellent video thank you. I wonder though since 18 × 18 is a square and you obviously rolled out rectangles is 18 the length or the width measurement?
It’s the length! Thanks for asking!
Hola. Gracias por la receta. Tengo una pregunta. Se puede reemplazar el shortening por butter?
Lo puedes reemplazar pero le va a dar un sabor un poco diferente - ni bueno ni malo sólo different.
Great video. Can this bread be used to make, French toast?
That’s a great idea! We haven’t done it but don’t see why that would not work!
Greetings Jeff and Jo - I just wanted to say hello and let you know that your sobao recipe continues to be the one I continue to use at least once every other week. Thanks again.
Orlando! That’s great to hear!!!! 😊
DO you recommend dry yeast over fresh yeast? What would be the conversion for fresh yeast?
We usually do the dry yeast! Sorry not sure about conversion.
Ok, let me get my coffee and some butter!
Haha! Yess! Or some hot chocolate 😍😍
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen yes!! And queso de papa!!!!
i do have a question is there a way i can make the dough and cook it in the morning??? i made this labor day weekend i ended up making 8 loaves because everyone was eating it so fast thank you for posting this. but it was time consuming im am going to try to make the dough now leave it in the oven since it is cold here in pennsylvania and work it in the morning to punch down i will let you know
Hi Donna, I haven't actually tried anything like you are mentioning with this recipe, but I know a lot of people like to rest their dough overnight, so I think what you are contemplating could work. Typically this longer rest period is in the refrigerator, because you don't want the dough to overrise (it can get a funky taste). In any event, please let us know how it turns out. Good Luck!!
Weepaaa!
Ejele!!
Puedo usar mantequilla y no manteca? No soy puertoriquena pero vivi en PR for un tiempo y me encanto el pan sobao. Tambien fue curioso saber que se vendia por libra y no por unidad...cosas que recuerdo.
Si Natalia, puedes usar mantequilla si quieres. Y si, normalmente lo venden por la libra, pero es casi la misma cosa porque un bollo de pan tipicamente pesa una libra.
Do we have use a mixer or can we do it by hand
Can definitely do it by hand!
Hi, awesome video. Any tips on how to prepare the dough in a bread machine?
Thanks Orlando! 😄 What bread machine do you have? Oftentimes it's pretty easy to adapt the recipe to make with a bread machine, but it depends on the machine. In particular, the machines differ in how you set the various proofing times, which you'll need to adjust to match up with the times in our recipe.
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen it's a cuisinart cbk-200. It does have a dough setting) Normally it requires the wet ingredients first and the flour and yeast at the end. Thanks and keep up with the traditions.
Oh BTW, I only want to use the bread machine for making the dough. I will use my regular oven to bake them. Thanks again
If you are just using the bread machine to make the dough, I would think that you can follow the recipe pretty much as is in the video. If you feel more comfortable waiting to add the yeast, that should be fine. Proofing it at the beginning is mainly just to make sure that it is still active (i.e., not dead) but if you are confident your yeast is working, then no need to do that. The one thing that I will point out is that I think making a wet dough first, and then adding the shortening after, is important, so I'm not sure if just adding all the ingredients at the beginning and mixing would work. Hope that's helpful, and good luck with the bread!
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen thanks for the feedback. I will try later today and will let you know how it comes out. Mil gracias y Felicidades..
What is the exact measurement for this recipe and the other recipe for the pan de agua gracias para poder intentarlo I want try this recipes 🥰

Hi, my name is Nancy I’m Portuguese but have been with my Puerto Rican hubby 28 yrs… being Portuguese I’m no stranger to bread myself, this is my 3rd try this weekend at pan sobao this weekend I’m hoping your recipe is the charm! I can tell I difference already so i have hope! I did take your recommendation with the pillsbury bread flour, but I’m wondering if you have a preference on yeast brand? Please let me know
Hi there! Hope the recipe goes well. We have no preference on the yeast. We use whichever one we find at the grocery store
,, xxx zzz
Hello Jeff. Hope all is well. I'm still going strong with your recipe and method. Quick question, have you tried making it with whole wheat flour?
We have not! Have you??
Where do I get these specific recipes so I know how much of each ingredient to use
The recipes are in the video description, we also have a blog with all the written down instructions: www.jeffandjopr.com/
Do I need the white thing that looks like butter
Can you substitute the lard with butter?
I haven't tried it, but it should work in principle. The only thing to keep in mind is that butter is 15-20% water (with the remaining being beef fat), so you might need to use a little bit more butter and ease off the liquid elsewhere.
Hi Jeff 👋🏼 so I can’t use AP flour for this recipe?
Hi Victoria, I think using AP flour will result in a denser loaf, since there will be less gluten to help trap the air bubbles coming off of the yeast. That said, you should still be able to make it. Let us know how it turns out when you do. Thanks!
Hi Jeff. So, I made pam sobao with bread flour. My loaves were bigger than yours and they baked just fine and then became flat-ish. However, the taste and texture was spot on! Did I not knead enough? I did it by hand and did not use a mixer.
@@victoriacruz-klitsch7303 Hi Victoria! Thanks for letting us know how your pan sobao turned out! Glad to hear that the taste and texture was right. As for the issue with the loaves falling, it's always a little tricky to know for sure, but there are two things that come to mine. First, as you note, it might be something with the kneading. If kneading by hand you usually need to knead for longer than if you are using a mixture (I know it can get tiring :( I did it for the Pan de Agua video and was literally sweating by the end). The kneading is key to creating the gluten, which traps the air bubbles that are being created by the yeast. Second, make sure that when you are shaping the final rolls, that you really pinch together the seams carefully. If the seams aren't tight, some of the air may escape there as well, deflating the loaves. All this said however, just know that you are not alone with this issue. It's actually a really tricky thing to get right at home, since we don't have access to the same tools and machines that commercial bakers use. Hope this helps, and keep us updated on how it goes. Best of luck!
That makes so much sense. I got impatient and may not have pinched the seams together enough. Thank you for the response. I will try pan de agua this weekend. You guys are great!!!! My family is from Hatillo and I always talk about how great your videos are. Thank you for giving us good content !
It is possible to make it glutenfree?
You said you can make this without milk. How? Do I just leave it out or do I have to substitute it with more water? My daughter is lactose intolerant.
Hi there! Substitute it with water.
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen Excellent! Thank you. I'm making it this weekend. 🙂
Can i use water instead of milk? (Lactose intolerant)
You can but I would go for a lactose free milk instead.
Hmm is there a way to do this with almond flower?
No, sorry. Cannot use almond flour.
Hello! Can I use glutten free flour?
We have not tried the recipe with gluten free flour but my understanding is that there are some of those that are 1 to 1 substitute so I would use one of those.
When I heard you speak English, I was like, he's not Puertorican how can he know how to make our bread (not that Puertoricans don't know how to speak English) I was expecting someone from The Island but you nailed down and after reading some comments I'm going with your recipe, thanks. I will let you know how my bread came out. I have been wanting to eat this bread for over 20 years. I don't have any other choice but to make it myself.
I was born in the island. Lived in Mayaguez until I was 13 - so I am from The Island.
It's funny cause I'm from Mayagüez 🇵🇷, born and raised and people see me and think I'm gringo. Great video!!!
Can you add unsalted butter instead of lard
We didn’t use lard, we used vegetable shortening.
Where do I get the ingredient list?
First time making this recipe and I am in awe....el pan tasted just like the ones from my childhood. Thank you!
What adjustments would you guys make for high altitude and dry climate? I live in South Dakota and the dough didn't rise as much but it still tasted amazing.
Use a little more yeast and let it rise for longwr
Okay correct me if I'm wrong but how can you have a rectangle with equal sides? If four sides are 18 by 18 then that's not a rectangle That's the square, am I missing something?
You are correct - sorry that was a mistake on our end. The rectangle is approximately 18 x 10 inches.
I want to make it but in a bread maker
Sorry, we have never try this in a bread maker. Let us know how it goes for you
Who sings the song at the beginning?
It’s bomba pa siempre
Your video says 3 cups of flour but the description says 4. Can you clarify ?
Yes, starts with 3 cups and then continue adding as necessary n
Think you can make a Moncho pan copycat recipe?
Oh sorry - what is moncho pan?
What are the propotions of the ingredients?
The full recipe is in the video description.
your next video should be how to make a tripleta.... the sandwich of puerto rico...
Yum!! Tripletas are so so good! That's a great idea!
Pan Sobao 🇵🇷 doesn't have egg in the recipe. I make this daily. My favorite bread from my mother land.
Thanks for the feedback Jenn. I totally hear you; lots of people don't use egg in their pan sobao. As i mentioned in the video, I've done it both ways and find that adding the egg and some milk really helps develop the darker color in the crust.
Oh and if you want to leave the egg out, just add another tablespoon of shortening. The egg yolk has alot of fat so you reduce the amount of shortening when you add an egg.
Ok. So I tried this recipe. It is delicious, bur it's not pan sobao. This tastes like American dinner rolls to me. Like milk and yeast dinner rolls. I am off the boat boricua and fresh bread is life. I can not find an equivalent in texas. To my peeps this is delicious but not pan sobao. Still trying make my own but so far I find it's like mom rice. Nothing like mommas rice
Thanks for the feedback
Seguramente sabe bueno porque he horneado panes similares, pero no es lo que se conoce en PR como pan sobao. El verdadero pan sobao que hace la panadería de cualquier esquina en PR no lleva leche ni huevo, solo harina, agua, levadura, sal, azúcar y manteca (vegetal por lo general).
Gracias por ver el video!!
pan de oil
😊
No estoy bien Segura Pero Pan de Manteca O Sovado si no me Equivoco no Yeva Huevos
Hemos visto recetas de ambas formas
I was told calling it pan sobao is totally wrong. One should call it pan de Manteca. Why is it insulting to call it pan sobao?
Habla Español Please?
Hablamos español! Y tenemos algunos videos en español en el canal.
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchengracias por hablar. Español.
Too much talk...🙄
Thanks for watching. No worries, we have an alternative for you with much less talking - check out our blog post with the recipe and instructions: www.jeffandjopr.com/post/homemade-pan-sobao-pan-de-manteca
ADVICE : Almost 9 mins of bla bla bla.. he just want more money from youtube, if you play the whole "tutorial" ..just skip until min 8:55
you talk toooo much
Sorry you feel that way, we'll take it into consideration.
He is trying to teach his way of doing this recipe! There are many things you can do!
1.skip minutes and miss the recipe
2. speed the video
3.dont watch!
If you truly dont have nothing nice to say dont say anything! Learn some manners!
🤦♀️ SMH!
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen you don’t have to change anything! I liked the way you explain things! All of your recipes are awesome! This bread was on point! the bomb!
Soft!Just the right sweetness! Its heavenly! I might tweak it a bit! But i believe its as close as you can get to pan sobao from the panadería! Thanks! Don’t change and keep doing what y’all are doing! Its awesome and y’all are going to the top! Bendiciones!
Actual l’y I enjoy the talk, I recently watched a Way too fast video, the lady mentioned an extra amount of water(which you can clearly hear, unless the video was hacked, ). this guy, I like!
