hey riders!

the long wait is over! i finally made the famous filipino "dinner" rolls called pandesal. it is very similar to dinner rolls we usually serve here in the US. however, in the philippines, these rolls are actually served for breakfast, it is so good dipped in the coffee! you can also put fillings such as sandwich spread and filipino star margarine. :)

goodluck!
