Beef “GOROGORO” Curry Bread is Bakery Picasso’s signature bread, with more than 3.5 million sold since the bakery first opened.
“GOROGORO” is a Japanese word used to describe something packed with large, satisfying pieces.
True to its name, each bread is generously filled with beef cut into large pieces and slowly simmered in our rich signature curry, all wrapped in a thin layer of dough.
Crisp and crunchy on the outside, rich and smooth on the inside.
Its gentle heat and well-balanced flavor make it easy for people of all ages to enjoy.
Hearty and satisfying, it’s a curry bread that feels like a meal in itself.

HOW IT’S MADE
-
01
Slow-Cooked for 4 Hours
Generous chunks of beef are first seared, then slowly simmered for four hours with onions, carrots, tomatoes, and a blend of 10 spices, until the vegetables melt into the curry.
-
02
Rested Overnight
The curry is left to rest overnight, allowing the spices to blend and its rich flavor to deepen and mellow.
-
03
Wrapped by Hand
Our bakers thinly stretch each piece of dough by hand and wrap it around a generous helping of our signature curry infused with rich beef flavors.
-
04
Fried Until Golden and Crisp
Each one is fried until golden brown, creating a crisp, crunchy crust with a rich and smooth curry filling inside.
