Question: What is the official state bread of Texas?
Answer: Pan de campo, also known as cowboy bread. It was traditionally baked in a Dutch oven and made with just five ingredients: flour, baking soda, shortening, salt, and water. According to the state legislature’s 2005 resolution recognizing pan de campo as the official state bread of Texas, its “appeal lies not only in its elegant simplicity but also in its role as a redolent reminder of the state’s storied past and the vaqueros of South Texas.”
