Mogolla is a semicircular bread produced in Colombia, very similar to the bread used in other countries to make hamburgers. There may be various types of mogollas, differing in ingredients and preparation methods. In some regions it is known as acema and in others as mestiza and is common in bakeries in many cities in the country.
It is presumed that its shape comes from the colonial era. It is a very versatile type of bread since it can be made with either corn or wheat flour, and it is easy to produce industrially. It may or may not contain fillings, with the most notable being the mogolla chicharrona, a mogolla that contains pieces of pork rind as a filling. Among the most commonly used ingredients to give it flavor are caramel and honey.
