Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
Add the melted butter and the egg to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, but avoid adding too much.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Roll each ball in bread crumbs, ensuring an even coat. Arrange the breaded dough balls on a lightly greased baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Cover the rolls loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size again.
While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the bread rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Pan de Sal is best enjoyed warm, either plain or with butter, jam, or fillings of your choice.
