Pan de Cruz from Ciudad Real is bread made from a compact, dense piece of bread wheat, with firm, white crumbs, shaped like a round loaf with a smooth crust and two deep, cross-like cuts (hence the name, which translates as ‘Cross Bread’). This artisan bread is made by rolling the dough into a cone-shaped ball and then adding two cross-shaped cuts.
