IN SPAIN AS WELL AS IN SOUTH AMERICA "BOLILLO" IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING LACE ALSO  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.145.175.251 (talk) 00:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Northeast Mexico?
In Tamaulipas and Nuevo León, we know it as bolillo, not as pan francés. Where is it known as pan francés?

French Bread in Mexico is the generic name form to bread made with salted dough instead of a sweet dough which is biscocho (yeasted). The shape and specific combination of flour, salt, water and some times presence or absence of sugar is the base for specific french breads, as bolillo or telera.

But even, the work in the bench is caracteristic for the final bread. Bolillo product while is in process, the dough is afected by the mastery of a baker, an experienced baker can do the slash work be significative to provide a personality to his product: the bolillo could be simply marked or the expression of the interection on yeasted product of mixing forging, shaping,and baking. Every region in Mexico and every big pan frances producer curates the process from start to finish to keep acceptance of loyalty consumers.

Fench bread is an artisan bread and the posibility of multiple products changing small characteristics is what even today make the mexicans bread, a still now, artisan bread.

So, bolillo, telera or other types of french bread can make a succesful baker or an unacepted one. Can make fail a buyer or a food shop, whose makes a wrong decision choosing it´s bread. It`s not so simple to ignore whow the process is because we can not understand the process of making or the family of french breads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.111.13.222 (talk) 03:30, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Several sources indicate that is a pejoritive term for a white person. One example is http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bolillo another http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/mexican_spanish.htm.

I am mexican, have lived in northern and central mexico, and have never heard that one. Sounds more like an urban legend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.183.13.9 (talk) 15:35, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Do any experianced wikipedians have a sense of weather bolillo as a pejoritive should be a seperate article from bolillo the bread product? maybe just a mention in the main article? Tjc 13:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Um, this requires some bad language but is unavoidable to explain the context. In Colombia, the shape is used to refer to a turd due to the similarity of the shape, hence boliblanco is a white turd (a breadish roll made from white maize). I am led to believe that the name of the Mexican bollilo also derives from the same route due to the shape. I haven't heard this used as an insult for gringos, round here they just call them gringos! BTW :- weather s/b whether. Oh, bollilos make great sandwich rolls but the fresher the better :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.182.26.20 (talk) 08:06, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

On pan frances
I just wanted to mention that in the city of Mérida, Yucatán there is a type of bread which is much more like a real French baguette. I can't remember what the local name is. Also, in Guatemala there is a very common type of bread called pan frances which comes in fingers, I think typically made in bars of five fingers. It's very cheap and you can even buy individual fingers. &mdash; Hippietrail 23:50, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Redirect from BOLLIOS ?
I don't know how to do a redirect, but it's also known at bollios. Also a picture of it would be great. I've never seen it, but I'm being told by a Latina friend what these are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruth E (talk • contribs) 03:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

✅ Done, see Bollios and the image there. hydnjo (talk) 04:21, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Bolillo, Telera, and Tortas
Although in some regions people use the bolillo to make tortas, the traditional bread for a torta is called telera. Telera is more like Italian bread because it is soft. Bolillo is tough, like rustic artisinal breads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.147.236.195 (talk) 15:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
