FILIPINO PANDESAL

Steps:

• Pour yeast into water. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and set aside to soften, about 7 minutes.

• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Form into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Brush surface of dough with more vegetable oil and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Punch dough down and roll into 2-inch rounds. Cover rolls with 1/2 of the fine bread crumbs and let rise again, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut rounds into 1 1/2-inch pieces and arrange on a slightly greased baking sheet, cut-side up. Sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes more.

TASTY FILIPINO PANDESAL

Steps:

• If you have a bread machine, add all ingredients (except the bread crumbs) in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Usually the liquid ingredients then dry ingredients. Select DOUGH cycle. But I suggest to combine lukewarm water and yeast and let it stand for 5 minutes before adding all the ingredients, then follow procedure 5-11.
• To knead the dough manually, Combine lukewarm water and yeast. Stir. Let it stand for 5 minutes. Combine all ingredients except bread crumbs. (liquid ingredients then dry).
• Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
• Place in a greased bowl. Let it stand in warm place to rise, covered for 1.5-2 hrs or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough and turn out on a lightly floured board.
• Divide dough into 24 equal parts and shape into ovals.
• Roll lightly in bread crumbs.
• Place on greased cookie sheet.
• Cover, let rise in warm place, free from draft, until light and double- about 2-4 hrs to achieve light and fluffy bread. (Tip: I usually make the dough the night before, let it stand, 'till ready to bake it in the morning. So, you'll have fresh bake pan de sal at breakfast with kraft cheese -- yummy).
• Bake at 375 degrees, for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

CLASSIC FILIPINO PANDESAL RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Combine the yeast, sugar, and milk and stir until the yeast and sugar are fully dissolved. I've chosen milk instead of water because it just tastes better, but you can always use lukewarm water instead of the milk. In the mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder then mix well. Add the egg, butter, cooking oil, and yeast-sugar-milk mixture in the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients then mix again until dough is formed. You can use your hands to effectively mix the ingredients. In a flat surface, knead the dough until the texture becomes fine. Mould the dough and put back in the mixing bowl, cover with damp cloth and let the dough rise for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour. After the dough has risen, transfer to a lightly floured working surface. Roll into a log then cut into four to six equal pieces. Take another portion of the dough, roll again into a log and cut into equal pieces, repeat this step until all the dough is done. Roll each piece of dough in breadcrumbs then arrange on a baking tray for at least an inch apart, you don't want it sticking together when it rises later on. Leave the dough in the tray to rise again for 15-20 minutes. Preheat the oven at 375°F (190 degree Celsius) for 10 minutes. If using a fan assisted oven, reduced the heat according to instructor's manual. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until nicely browned outside.

PANDESAL BREAD (FILIPINO BREAD ROLLS)

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add 2 tsp of sugar. Stir to combine. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until yeast has activated and mixture is foamy.
• 2. In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, bread flour, and salt. Set aside.
• 3. Pour yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment. Add remaining sugar, butter and lightly whisked eggs.
• 4. With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions. Once all the flour has been added, increased speed to medium. Continue to knead until dough comes together to form a smooth ball.
• 5. Remove from mixing bowl and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour. Punch dough down and divide into 24 equal parts.
• 6. Roll dough into balls and dip the top of the bread roll into breadcrumbs. Place breadcrumb side up on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover dough balls with plastic wrap to prevent dough from drying out. Allow bread rolls to rise for 15-20 minutes, until bread rolls have puffed up.
• 7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 20-25 minutes until fragrant and golden brown. Eat bread rolls warm or at room temperature.
