What is monay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monay is the local adaptation of the Spanish Pan de Monja, which translates to nun's bread<\/em>. It's a slightly sweet, heavy, and dense bun with a deep partition in the center, creating two cheeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's also known as the \"mother of all Filipino bread\" as its dough is the base for other types of bread such as the putok or star bread and pinagong. These buns share the same dense texture but have their own distinctive shapes from scoring. While the monay is divided into two halves, the putok has a cracked top, and the pinagong is cut into a turtle form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
