At Buchmann Bakery & Restaurant Supply, we know that behind every delicious bite of pan dulce, tres leches cake, or warm homemade tortilla is a foundation of high-quality, authentic ingredients. As a trusted wholesale bakery supplier in Southern California, we’re proud to support panaderías, tortillerías, restaurants, and food manufacturers with the ingredients they need to bring the flavors of Mexico to life.
Whether you specialize in traditional Mexican pastries or handmade corn tortillas, here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients that make these baked goods and breads unforgettable—and how Buchmann helps supply them.
Mexican Pastries (Pan Dulce)
From conchas and cuernitos to orejas and empanadas de fruta, Mexican pastries are as beautiful as they are flavorful. The key ingredients include:
- Flour (Harina de Trigo) – A high-gluten or all-purpose flour creates the soft, fluffy texture of pan dulce.
- Sugar & Brown Sugar – Essential for sweetness and decorative toppings.
- Shortening or Butter – For flakiness and richness.
- Eggs – We proudly supply fresh, local eggs ideal for baking. Eggs provide structure and moisture.
- Yeast – Critical for achieving the airy, risen dough in traditional pan dulce.
- Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Citrus Zest – For classic Mexican flavor profiles.
Pro Tip: Our liquid egg and egg yolk products are perfect for commercial bakeries looking to maintain consistency and efficiency at scale.
Mexican Cakes
Popular cakes like tres leches, pastel de elote (corn cake), and flan napolitano rely on quality ingredients and precise ratios. Must-have ingredients include:
- Eggs – Vital for structure and rich texture in cakes and flan. Buchmann offers shell eggs and processed egg products to meet your production needs.
- Sweetened Condensed & Evaporated Milk – For moisture and flavor in tres leches.
- Butter or Margarine – Adds depth and tenderness.
- Cornmeal or Masa Harina – Often used in traditional corn cakes.
- Baking Powder – For rise and softness.
We carry many of these specialty baking items and can help you find the right blend of ingredients for your recipes.
Mexican Breads (Pan Mexicano)
Traditional breads like bolillos, teleras, and roscas are staples in Mexican bakeries. These require:
- Bread Flour – Higher protein content provides structure and chew.
- Yeast & Dough Conditioners – For rise and extended freshness.
- Salt & Sugar – For flavor balance.
- Egg Wash – Often used to add sheen and golden color.
At Buchmann Egg, we supply the bulk flour, eggs, and enhancers your bakery needs to bake at volume while keeping authentic flavor intact.

Corn Tortillas
- Nixtamalized Corn Flour (Masa Harina) – The cornerstone of corn tortillas.
- Water & Salt – Simple, but essential for the perfect dough.
Flour Tortillas
- All-Purpose Flour
