Time 3h50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c warm water
1/4 oz package active dry yeast
1 c lukewarm milk
2 oz butter, room temperature
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 c granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 1/4 c bread flour (plus 1/4 to 1/2 cup for kneading)
1/2 c fine bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine water and yeast. Allow to sit for 10 minutes until mixture becomes bubbly. Stir well.
  • 2. In a small bowl, combine milk, butter, eggs, sugar and salt. Stir together until incorporated.
  • 3. Add milk mixture and 2 cups flour to yeast mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat to combine. Gradually add the remaining 2-1/4 cup flour in ½ cup increments and continue to combine all ingredients.
  • 4. On a lightly-floured surface, turn over dough and knead, lightly adding flour as necessary, for about 10 minutes or until smooth, supple and elastic.
  • 5. 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.
  • 6. 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. (If you don't want them to be pull-apart but instead rise and bake separately, set them about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.) Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until double in size. Near the end of the rising time, start preheating oven to 350°F.
  • 7. Bake in a 350°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yeast. If you're using active dry yeast, be sure to proof it in warm water before adding it to the dough.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and give the pandesal a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to ensure that the pandesal is light and airy.
  • Shape the dough into balls and place them on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops of the pandesal with milk or water and sprinkle them with sugar.
  • Bake the pandesal in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion:

Pandesal is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a popular ingredient in many Filipino dishes, and it can also be used to make sandwiches, toast, or croutons. If you're looking for a simple and satisfying bread recipe, pandesal is a great option.
