Pandesal is a common and popular yeast-raised bread roll in the Philippines. Contrary to its name, Pandesal, which translates to salt bread in Spanish, it is actually slightly sweet rather than salty. It is popularly eaten for breakfast and mid-afternoon snacks or what you call merienda in Filipino. Pandesal can be complemented with butter, cheese, peanut butter, jam, or other fillings like eggs, sardines, and sausages. It's commonly paired with Philippine coffee or the thick Filipino chocolate drink called Tsokolate Eh. So, here is a classic pandesal recipe. These Pandesal rolls can stay soft and fluffy for up to three days as long as you keep them in an air-tight container and not just be left exposed to air.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
breadcrumbs for coating pandesal pieces
