[1][2] It is one of the most popular types of bread in the Philippines, usually part of the "Filipino bread basket" with the pan de coco and pan de sal, commonly served for breakfast or merienda.

[4] Señorita bread is made similarly to pandesal except for the addition of eggs and butter.

Its distinctive aspect is the sweet filling, which is traditionally made from butter (or margarine) mixed with breadcrumbs and brown sugar.

The filling is evenly spread on the flattened dough (usually triangular in shape, but can also be square).

It is then rolled into a cylinder from one corner, resulting in the characteristic horn-like shape.
