Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixer (Optional)

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 ¼ tbsp instant yeast
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup bread crumbs

Instructions

When Using A Mixer

  • Combine the flour (2 ½ cups only, reserve 1 cup for later), salt, sugar, and yeast in the mixing bowl of your stand mixer.
  • In another bowl, combine the milk and water then mix well. Microwave for 60-80 seconds on medium power. (You can also heat using your stove until lukewarm.)
  • Add the milk mixture and softened butter to the dry ingredients, mix until combined.
  • Attach the dough hook attachment and the mixing bowl to your mixer.
  • Turn on mixer on low-medium speed and gradually add-in the remaining 1 cup of flour. Knead the dough for 5 to 8 minutes or until smooth.

For Manual Kneading

  • Combine the milk and water in a bowl then mix well. Microwave for 60-80 seconds on medium power. (You can also heat using your stove until lukewarm.)
  • Combine the flour (all 3 ½ cups), salt, sugar, yeast, butter, and lukewarm milk mixture in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix the ingredients well until it forms a dough.
  • Dust the table or a flat surface with flour then knead the dough here for 10 to 15 minutes or until elastic.

After Kneading

  • Transfer dough into a greased bowl. Grease hands and shape the dough into a round shape.
  • Grease the surface of the dough. Cover with a cling wrap and let it rest for 30 to 40 minutes, until the dough has doubled its size. Do the poke test. If the dent remains, the dough is ready.
  • Grease hands and flatten the dough with your knuckles.
  • Portion the dough about the size of a golf ball. You will make 12 pieces.
  • Grease hands again and shape the dough into round shape
  • Coat with bread crumbs.
  • Place the pandesal in a baking pan and cover with a cling wrap or moist cheese cloth or katsa.
  • Rest again for 45 minutes, until it has doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven at 175 C or 350 F for 10-15 min before your pandesal has finished resting so they are ready to bake when done.
  • Bake the pandesal for 17 to 18 minutes. (Tip: If browning too fast at 12 minutes of baking, cover with foil and bake for another 10 to 11 minutes.)
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Residual heat is important in this recipe to have that perfectly done fluffy pandesal. Serve and enjoy!
