Adobe bread, also called oven bread or pueblo bread, is a type of bread typical of the Pueblo peoples of the Southwestern United States.[1][2][3] The bread is often shaped like animals typical of the region.[1] The bread is baked in a beehive-shaped outdoor adobe oven[3][4] known as an horno.[1][2][5]

Ingredients

The basic dough is made with yeast, flour, salt, warm water, and either butter, lard, or shortening.[2][3] Sometimes eggs or a sweetener such as honey or sugar is added to the dough as well.[3] The dough often contains meat, vegetables, seeds, or nuts.[1]
