Garlic Bolillo: Mix 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or one minced garlic clove into the softened butter before spreading.

Herbed Bolillo: Add finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley to the butter for a fresh, herby flavor.
Sweet Bolillo: Instead of salt, sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the buttered side before or after toasting for a delicious sweet treat, perfect with coffee or hot chocolate.

A bolillo is a traditional Mexican savory bread known for its crusty exterior and soft, fluffy interior. It's similar in style to a French baguette but is shorter, thicker, and often has a distinctive football-like shape.
Absolutely. While bolillos are traditional, this recipe works wonderfully with telera rolls, French bread, ciabatta, or any other crusty bread roll.
Toasted bolillos are best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. Reheat in a toaster oven or on a dry pan to regain some of the crispiness.
Yes, you can. Place the buttered bolillo halves in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and toasted.
