Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and allow it to sit until it becomes frothy (about 5-10 minutes).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter into the well. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval.
Roll each shaped dough in bread crumbs to coat the surface thoroughly.
Arrange the dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring enough space between them for a second rise.
Cover them with a damp cloth and let them rest for another 30 minutes, or until they double in size again.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the pandesal in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
