Regañao
topped flatbread typical of the Teruel area in Spain
Regañao (Spanish pronunciation: [reɡaˈɲao]) is a topped flatbread –similar to a pizza– typical of the Teruel area, in Spain. It has an elongated and rounded shape, and it is covered with salted sardines (sometimes herring) or slices of Teruel ham, all accompanied by strips of red bell pepper that are usually embed in the dough. Regañaos are typical of the Aragonese cuisine, and are often accompanied with wine.
Origin
Similar breads are prepared in other areas of the Celtiberian Mountain Range, such as the bollo of Requena, province of Valencia, or the ham and bacon tortas from Almodóvar del Pinar, province of Cuenca. It should not be confused with the Andalusian regañá, a very thin and crisp bread. A bakery in Teruel assures that the regañao arose in its oven at the beginning of the 20th century, when the neighbors asked the baker to make this flatbread for them so insistently, that he thought he was being scolded (regaña'o in Spanish means 'scolded').
Culture
In the city of Teruel, regañaos is common in the so-called fiestas vaquilleras ('heifer festivals'). One of the most popular is the Fiestas del Ángel de Teruel, held during the first fortnight of July. They can be topped with ham or sardines. Regañaos are a popular food of the peñas, being habitual in snacks accompanied with wine from the area.

Why this record matters

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11168485. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
