Pan sobao, is a white bread from the Caribbean characterized by the addition of lard, which gives it its distinctive flavor. It is one of the most traditional breads of Puerto Rico, where it is considered a softer variant of pan de agua.[1][2] In Venezuela, pan sobao enjoyed great popularity in the mid-20th century and is now typical in some rural towns.[3]
