Spanish bread is a soft and moist type of bread with sugar and margarine filling. It is a populair bakery item in the Philippines. 

Why is it called spanish bread? Ironically, despite the vast number of our local breads descending from the ones brought over by our Hispanic conquerors, Spanish bread is the one example that's completely our own. It has been theorized that it's called thus because of its similarity to the ensaymada. Both breads are made with eggs, butter, and sugar, and are coiled prior to baking. Only Spanish bread is rolled into a flat sheet, and then twirled into a stout stick rather than into a bun.
