Pandesal with butter in a plate.

Pandesal Recipe

Jomelyn Mauermann
Pandesal is a soft, buttery, and slightly sweet flavor Filipino bread roll. Its fluffy center combined with a crisp golden brown outer layer of bread crumbs makes every bite delightful. It is a yeast-raised bread roll or pan de sal recipe that is worth making at home.

Equipment

Oven
Baking rack
Silicone mat or baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast or rapid yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm milk or water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon refined salt
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in lukewarm milk. Let it stand for 10 minutes to bloom.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, combine salt, remaining sugar, butter, eggs, yeast mixture, and half of the flour. Using a dough hook, beat to combine. Gradually add the rest of the flour ½ cup at a time. Add more flour if needed to get the right consistency.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and and continue kneading with your hand until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic for about 10-15 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide into two equal parts. Roll each of them into a log and divide into 20-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and roll on breadcrumbs to coat.  Arrange balls about 1-inch apart on a silicone mat or baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown outside. Serve while hot.
