French rolls around the world

Asia

Hong Kong and Macau

In Hong Kong and Macau, dyun faat baau (短法包, literally "short French bread" or "short baguette"), also known as the zyu zai baau (豬仔包, "piggy bun"), is used to make pork chop buns.

Europe

Spain

On the island of Mallorca, the llonguet is also known as panet francès, meaning 'small French bread' or 'French bread roll' in Catalan.

Portugal

Carcaça and papo-seco are two traditional Portuguese breads.

Latin America

Across Latin America, the terms pan francés (Spanish) or pão francês (Portuguese), both meaning "French bread", refer to various baguette-like bread rolls made with wheat flour, salt, water and yeast.

Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay

In Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, pan felipe (Felipe bread) is a commonly eaten French bread roll.

In Uruguay, a denser version is known as pan marsellés (Marseilles bread). The Marseille bread called pan marsellés in Uruguay is different from the Brazilian pão francês. The Brazilian type is less dense and lighter and crispier. However, the Uruguayan version is made with a denser bread dough, resulting in a harder bread (similar to Italian bread), with the crust covered in maize flour before baking.

Bolivia, Chile, and Peru

In Bolivia and Chile, the marraqueta is sometimes called pan francés. In Peru, the term pan francés (or sometimes called pan francés peruano) is different from the marraqueta.

It is commonly found in delis and bakeries throughout Brazil.
