In a previous recipe on how to make halibut ceviche, we talked about our serving mechanism that we use at Stella, which is a freshly fried, miniature chalupa shell. Chalupa shells are different from tortillas in that they aren't pressed as thin and are fried instead of griddled.

Don't let the name fool you; this isn't your standard, soulless, supermarket variety of white bread. This recipe will yield you 2 loaves of real white bread that works great for toast, sandwiches or stuffing. It's also a great base recipe to which you can add any number of flavors to take your bread to the next level.
