PANDESAL (FILIPINO BREAD ROLLS - PAN DE SAL)

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.

PANDESAL BREAD (FILIPINO BREAD ROLLS)

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add 2 tsp of sugar. Stir to combine. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until yeast has activated and mixture is foamy.
• 2. In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, bread flour, and salt. Set aside.
• 3. Pour yeast mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment. Add remaining sugar, butter and lightly whisked eggs.
• 4. With the mixer running on low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions. Once all the flour has been added, increased speed to medium. Continue to knead until dough comes together to form a smooth ball.
• 5. Remove from mixing bowl and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour. Punch dough down and divide into 24 equal parts.
• 6. Roll dough into balls and dip the top of the bread roll into breadcrumbs. Place breadcrumb side up on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover dough balls with plastic wrap to prevent dough from drying out. Allow bread rolls to rise for 15-20 minutes, until bread rolls have puffed up.
• 7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 20-25 minutes until fragrant and golden brown. Eat bread rolls warm or at room temperature.
