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!
ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tsp instant dry yeast
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2/3 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup lukewarm milk (110-115F)
- 1/4 (4 tbsp) stick melted butter
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tbsp condensed milk
- bread crumbs
directions:
- in a bowl, mix together the milk, teaspoon sugar and yeast. stir and set aside. let it rise for about 5-8 minutes
- in a different bowl. combine the dry ingredients, flour, remaining sugar and salt. mix well
- add in the egg, the melted butter, condensed milk and the yeast milk mixture and start kneading the dough using a stand mixer until smooth and elastic
- cover the prepared bowl with butter or oil add in the dough and cover with plastic wrap
- let the dough rise until doubled in size. about 1-2 hours
- when the dough is ready, deflate the dough and divide into portions. i was able to make 12 pcs
- shape th dough into round or a small ball
- move the dough into a prepared baking pan and cover with plastic wrap, then let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes
- preheat the oven to 325F
- bake the rolls for 18 minutes
- after 18 minutes, turn the temperature to 375F and bake for another 2-3 minutes or until the topd of the rolls turns golden brown
