Pão Francês, often referred to as Brazilian French Bread, is a staple in Brazilian cuisine. This small, crusty bread roll is made from simple ingredients: wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes a touch of sugar or fat for added flavor and texture. It boasts a thin, crisp crust with a soft, airy interior, making it versatile for meals, from breakfast to dinner. While Pão Francês is a great source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, its refined flour base means it lacks the fiber found in whole-grain options. Additionally, it is typically low in fat and sugar, making it a lighter bread choice compared to richer alternatives. To boost its nutritional value, it can be paired with protein-rich foods like eggs or nutrient-packed spreads such as avocado. However, moderation is key for those managing blood sugar or following low-carb diets, as it is predominantly composed of simple carbs.
