Lately, I’ve been seriously craving salt bread. That golden crust, the rich buttery flavor, and the hint of salt—it’s just the perfect combo. So when I had a chance to visit Gwanghwamun, I finally stopped by SIOPANGYA, a bakery that’s been getting quite the buzz for its signature salt breads. Their two most popular items, the Classic Salt Bread and the Truffle Salt Bread, were must-tries. Naturally, I grabbed both! SIOPANGYA’s Gwanghwamun Signature branch had a warm, modern vibe. The open kitchen concept lets you watch the bread being baked fresh, and every time a new batch comes out, people immediately start lining up—it’s a pretty impressive sight. The display was clean and minimalist, with about 5–6 main types of bread available. Of course, I went straight for their bestsellers: Classic Salt Bread and Truffle Salt Bread. Classic Salt Bread – Simplicity at Its Best The texture? Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. One bite and I was hooked. The rich buttery aroma and the balan...
