These traditional Honduran semitas are soft, lightly sweet yeast buns topped with a crisp, crackly sugar crust. Delicately scented with anise, they're a beloved bakery treat enjoyed with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a simple dessert. While they share a name with the famous sandwich rolls of Puebla, Mexico, Honduran semitas are an entirely different bread - closer to a sweet bun than a sandwich roll.
The contrast between the tender, buttery crumb and the crisp topping is what makes these irresistible. They're delicious warm from the oven, but just as enjoyable the next day with your favourite hot drink.
