Pan de campo

Pan de campo is a flatbread with a name that is thought of as country bread, camp bread, or cowboy bread. The bread was a regional staple of cowboy and vaqueros of southern Texas. Celebrated in several southern Texas festivals, it was named an official symbol of Texas in 2005. Pan de campo is a flatbread made from wheat flour, baking powder, salt, a fat, and water. Traditionally it was cooked in a dutch oven. The resulting round loaf is 1 to 1–1/2 inches thick. The flavor is biscuit-like. The Tejano origins of the dish have become part of Tex-Mex fusion. In Larry McMurtry's novel, Lonesome Dove, the Mexican cook prepares the bread for wranglers.
