Pandesal
No breakfast or snack time is complete without a serving of freshly baked pandesal. We can spread our favorite jam, sandwiched a fried hot-dog on it or simply enjoy it as it is dunk on a hot coffee..truly a versatile bread!
Ingredients:
4 cups of bread flour
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
5 tablespoons of softened butter
1 egg
1 sachet of dry yeast (about 2 teaspoons)
some breadcrumbs (optional)
Procedure:
Dissolve the yeast in the water. Add milk, sugar and melted butter. In a separate bowl put the flour and salt together. Make a well in a middle and pour the liquide. Work on the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can powder your hands and your working table to help you in kneading the bread. Cut 24 portions of this dough and form a shape of pandesal. Line them up with spacing over a parchment paper. Let them rise for about 2 hours. Before bakign them spray the top with water to ensure a crispy crust and powder it with breadcrumbs. Preheat the oven at 200° celsius and bake for about 20-25 minutes.

Hi Pretty, yes you have to add the milk, sugar and the melted butter into the yeast dissolved in water.
The rest is very straight forward.
Let me know the result.

may i verify.. your procedure here says after kneading the dough.. to cut it into 24 portions right away and let rise for 2 hours?? okay na ba yan? i mean, kasi po, with the other pandesal recipes i’ve tried to check, they have twice rising time.. First time is after kneading the dough, form into a ball and let rise, covered with damp towel.. rest for about an hour and the second time is after the dough is already cut and dusted with bread crumbs.. Pwede din ba un sinabi niyo here na once lang but wait for 2 hours?? same lang sila?? will try that as soon as i hear from you. Many thanks for sharing. God bless po.
