Pandesal Recipe

Ingredients

 2 cups all purpose flour

 2 cups bread flour
 ½ cup white sugar
 5 tbsp butter, melted
 1 tsp baking powder
 1¼ cup fresh milk, warm
 1 pouch rapid rise yeast
 1 tsp salt
 1 cup bread crumbs
 1 piece raw egg
 1 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions

1. Combine the yeast, sugar, and warm milk and stir until the yeast and sugar are fully
dissolved
2. In the mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients starting with the flour then the
sugar, salt, and baking powder . Mix well by stirring
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.
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.
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
6. Put the dough back to the flat surface and divide into 4 equal parts using a dough
slicer
7. Roll each part until it forms a cylindrical shape
8. Slice the cylindrical dough diagonally (These slices will be the individual pieces of
the pandesal)
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)
10. Leave the sliced dough with breadcrumbs in the tray for another 10 to 15 minutes
to rise
11. Pre-heat the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes
12. Put the tray with dough in the oven and bake for 15 minutes
13. Turn off the oven and remove the freshly baked pandesal.
