From the ovens of a baker in Lugo, Galicia, these round rolls have a crisp crust and light and airy interior. Tetiña rolls are made with the same recipe as our other breads, a style that has made Galician bread famous.

Tetiña rolls are easy to prepare; in just a few minutes, the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread will fill your kitchen. Made with a mild  sourdough starter, the rolls have an airy, elastic interior full of holes surrounded by a crisp crust. Perfect any time of day, these rolls are small enough to serve as a roll with dinner but large enough to use for a small sandwich filled with Jamón Serrano and Manchego cheese.

If you are wondering about the name tetiña, yes, it is a slightly risqué word referring to the shape of the rolls!

Those of you who have visited Santiago de Compostela will remember eating the extraordinary bread of Galicia. For years we've searched for a Galician bread to carry at La Tienda and we finally found it! We think this Galician bread stands up well against any we have tasted in Spain – and that is saying a lot.

The medieval city of Santiago de Compostela is inspiring in its architecture but is also memorable for its abundance of fresh seafood and vegetables native to the region. You can feast on sizzling platters of locally grown padrón peppers, bubbling cazuelas of Coquille San Jacques from freshly harvested scallops, and pulpo simmering in oil, garlic and smoked paprika. All of these extraordinary dishes are accompanied by Galician bread that is legendary throughout Spain.
