Probás

Probas refers to a type of baked good, often a small bread or biscuit, commonly found in Spanish-speaking countries. The exact composition and preparation of probás can vary significantly by region and even by household. Generally, they are made from a dough that can include flour, water, fat, and sometimes eggs, sugar, or leavening agents. Their texture can range from soft and bread-like to firm and crunchy, depending on the recipe.

Probás are often served as a snack or accompaniment to meals. They can be sweet or savory. Some variations might include spices or herbs, while others are plain. In some contexts, probás might be a simple, everyday food item, while in others, they could be associated with specific holidays or traditions. The term itself is derived from the Latin word "probare," meaning to test or try, which may hint at their historical use as a way to test ingredients or recipes. The simplicity of their ingredients and preparation has contributed to their enduring popularity in various culinary traditions.
