Pandesal

How to Make

• Step 1: Combine the yeast, sugar, and warm milk and stir until the yeast and sugar are fully dissolved

• Step 2: In the mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients starting with the flour then the sugar, salt, and baking powder . Mix well by stirring

• Step 3: Add the egg, butter, cooking oil, and yeast-sugar-milk mixture in the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients then mix again until a dough is formed. Use your clean hands to effectively mix the ingredients.

• Step 4: In a flat surface, knead the dough until the texture becomes fine. For faster and easier kneading, you may use a Stand Mixer with dough hook.

• Step 5: Mold the dough until shape becomes round then put back in the mixing bowl. Cover the mixing bowl with damp cloth and let the dough rise for at least 1 hour

• Step 6: Put the dough back to the flat surface and divide into 4 equal parts using a dough slicer

• Step 7: Roll each part until it forms a cylindrical shape

• Step 8: Slice the cylindrical dough diagonally (These slices will be the individual pieces of the pandesal)

• Step 9: Roll the sliced dough over the breadcrumbs and place in a baking tray with wax paper (makes sure to provide gaps between dough as this will rise later on)

• Step 10: Leave the sliced dough with breadcrumbs in the tray for another 10 to 15 minutes to rise

• Step 11: Pre-heat the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes

• Step 12: Put the tray with dough in the oven and bake for 15 minutes

• Step 13: Turn off the oven and remove the freshly baked pandesal.

• Step 14: Serve hot. Share and enjoy!
