This is a recipe for Chilean bread. The breads of Chile are celebrated for their diversity of shape, flavor, and texture. Dobladitas are a Chilean quick bread, rolled out, cut into circles, and folded in layers before baking. They are tender and flaky when served warm out of the oven. They are best when they are warm, right from the oven or toasted the next day, with some butter, jelly, or even some guacamole. Recipe from All Recipes.com.
