Arepas

Arepas are the pita breads of Colombia, Venezuela, and other parts of South America. They are made from corn and puff up nicely. They can be eaten as a bread or split open like a pita, stuffed, and rebaked. They are simple and a pleasure. They do not turn dark or form a crisp crust.

There are special pans for making them as well as mixes that can be found online.

Do not substitute another from of masa.
