Pandesal is one of the most favorite breakfast and merienda here in the Philippines. You can pair it with anything like fried scrambled egg, margarine/butter, liverspread, pansit or just simple as dipping it with your hot coffee or hot choco drink. So Yummy!
Here's how i made my favorite "Homemade Pandesal" .
First, prepare all the ingredients needed.
| 300g |
Bread Flour/1st Class Flour |
| 1/4 Cup |
Fresh Milk/ Evap Milk |
| 3 Tablespoon |
Butter or Margarine |
| 6g or 1/2 Tablespoon |
Instant Dry Yeast |
| 1/2 Cup |
Bread Crumbs for coating |
Let's get started!
- Put the bread flour on a large mixing bowl, then make three holes to add the yeast, sugar and salt.
- Mix the water and milk, add in the egg yolk and egg whites and mix well.
- Pour the milk-egg mixture and mix it until it comes together just like in the right photo below.
- Pour out the dough on a clean surface or a silicon mat, knead it while slowly while adding the butter/margarine.After 12-15 minutes it' s done , the texture should be smooth. Form the dough into a ball.
- Grease a mixing bowl with margarine/butter, put the dough inside and cover with cloth. Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
- After an hour punch the dough, and flatten into a mat or clean surface to release the air and odor that formed during proofing. Form it into a log then cut into 17-18 equal sizes or just weight each piece in 30 grams.
- Form each dough into a small balls, roll it into the bread crumbs. Place it in a baking pan/tray, let it rest for 15 minutes. Pre-heat oven at 180°C and bake them for 12-15 minutes.
Serve it hot, enjoy!
P.S. This pandesal can stay soft and yummy for 3 days, just keep it in a sealed container or plastic. Unfortunately the pandesal i made last time was all gone while the baking tray is still warm.
Looks yummy
Thank you!
