PANDESAL RECIPE - SOFT AND BUTTERY

Steps:

• In a big bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt.
• Pour in milk, beaten egg and melted butter. Mix several times until well blended. Make sure that the milk is only mildly warm and not hot.
• Add the instant dry yeast and fold until a sticky dough forms.
• Tip the dough on a floured surface and knead until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes.
• Form the dough into a ball and lightly coat with oil. Place it in a bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm area and let it rise until it doubled in size. Depending how warm it is, could take 30 minutes to an hour.
• Punch down the dough and divide into 2 equal parts using a knife or dough slicer. Roll each into a log. Cut each log into 6 smaller pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball and roll it in breadcrumbs, completely covering all sides.
• Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet leaving some gaps in between (at least an inch). Leave them to rise second time until double in size.
• While waiting, preheat oven 370° F /185°C. Bake the Pandesal for 15 minutes or until the sides are a bit browned.
• Remove from oven and serve while hot!

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast in ¼ cup warm water in a big bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes, and then stir well.
• In a bowl, combine milk, butter, eggs, sugar and salt.
• Add milk mixture and 2 cups flour into the yeast mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth. Gradually stir in remaining flour, adding more if necessary.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead dough, adding flour as necessary, until dough is smooth, elastic and no longer sticky (around 10 minutes).
• Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour or until double in size.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured board. Divide dough into 24 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, roll in breadcrumbs and place in a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
• Cover with a cloth and let rise for at least one hour or until almost double in size.
• Bake in 225 F oven for 20 minutes and then increase the oven temperature to 325 F while keeping the bread in the oven. Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

• Combine the water, evaporated milk and milk and heat in the microwave for 35 seconds. Run tap water over the egg for 30 seconds to warm it.
• Add all ingredients (except the bread crumbs) in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
• The dough is supposed to be somewhat sticky (when I made this recipe, it was not sticky but it turned out well anyway).
• Spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray; preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• When the dough is ready, scoop out a small amount (about the size of an ice-cream scoop) and roll in bread crumbs in an oval shape; place on baking sheet.

• Turn dough out onto a flat work surface. Knead until smooth. Shape into a ball and return to the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled, at least 1 hour.
• Divide dough into 4 equal portions using a bench knife. Roll each portion into a log; slice diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
• Pour bread crumbs onto a large plate. Roll each piece of dough in bread crumbs and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise until puffy, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

• 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).

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.

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.
• Enjoy!
