The Marraqueta is made from simple ingredients that are easily accessible. The main ingredients include flour, water, yeast, and salt. Some variations may also include a small amount of sugar or oil. The dough is typically shaped into small rolls and baked until golden brown.

The Marraqueta holds a special place in Chilean culture. It is often referred to as the "bread of the people" due to its affordability and widespread availability. It is commonly found in local bakeries, supermarkets, and street vendors throughout Chile. The Marraqueta is a symbol of Chilean identity and is deeply ingrained in the daily lives of Chileans.
Consumption[edit | edit source]
The Marraqueta is typically consumed fresh and is best enjoyed on the day it is baked. It is commonly used to make sandwiches, such as the popular "Chacarero" sandwich, which consists of sliced beef, tomatoes, green beans, and mayonnaise. It can also be enjoyed on its own, dipped in coffee or hot chocolate.
