- Ensaimada is a pastry that originated in the Balearic Islands of Spain and has made its way to the Philippines, where it has uniquely evolved. The Filipino version of ensaimada is characterized by its fluffy bread topped generously with butter, sugar, and cheese, offering a sweet and slightly salty flavor. This unique taste strongly reflects the influence of the Spanish colonial era, blending with the local culinary culture to possess its distinct charm. The preparation involves shaping the dough into a round form, baking it, and then adding the toppings. You can enjoy it as is or slightly warmed. By the way, to the author who has been diligently searching for this item, please don’t forget to check your departure gate at the airport instead of just studying the history of bread! It’s one more thing to worry about.
