PANDESAL

Steps:

• In a stand mixer bowl, combine water and yeast. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes bubbly. Stir well.
• In a small bowl, combine milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and salt. Stir together until incorporated.
• Add milk mixture and 2 cups flour to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, beat to combine.
• Gradually add the remaining 2 1/4 cups flour in 1/2 cup increments and continue to combine all ingredients.
• On a lightly floured surface, turn over dough and knead, sparingly adding the remaining 1/4 cup flour as necessary, for about 10 minutes or until smooth, supple and elastic.
• In a lightly oiled large bowl, place dough. Cover with film and allow to rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double in size.
• On a lightly floured surface, transfer dough and divide into 24 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and roll on breadcrumbs to coat.
• Arrange balls about 1-inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double in size.
• Bake in a 350 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.

PANDESAL (FILIPINO ROLLS)

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix on low speed until well combined. Add milk, oil, eggs and egg yolk, and mix until a shaggy dough forms, about 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium and continue to mix until dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl (it will remain attached to bottom of bowl and be sticky), about 10 minutes.
• Using a bowl scraper, transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let sit at warm room temperature (75°F/24°C) until roughly doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a wide shallow bowl with breadcrumbs. Turn dough onto a clean, floured surface, but do not deflate. Divide into 16 equal portions (2 1/3 ounces; 65g each). Working with one portion at a time, cup dough beneath your palm and work it in quick circular motions to form a smooth ball. Transfer portion to bowl with breadcrumbs, roll to evenly coat with breadcrumbs on all sides, and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining portions of dough, spacing each about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and allow to rise at warm room temperature (75°F/24°C) until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour. (Alternatively, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight until puffy and soft, between 10 and 12 hours).
• Thirty minutes before baking, adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350°F (177°C). Bake pandesal until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving platter, and serve immediately.

FILIPINO PANDESAL BREAD ( BREAD MACHINE )

Steps:

• 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.
• Cover and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.

PANDESAL

• Combine milk, 2 teaspoons sugar, and yeast in a large bowl; stir until sugar and yeast are fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Mix remaining sugar, flour, and salt together in a large bowl. Pour in milk mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until dough comes together.
• 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).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Pour yeast into water. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and set aside to soften, about 7 minutes.
• Mix 1/4 cup sugar, oil, and salt together in a bowl. Add softened yeast mixture and 1/2 of the flour. Mix well. Add remaining flour little by little, mixing constantly, until dough does not stick to the sides of the mixing bowl.
• 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

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!
