PAN DE SAL - FILIPINO BREAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Microwave milk on High for 30 seconds; Warm uncracked egg to room temperature by placing in hot water for 60 seconds, then beat lightly; Melt or soften butter to room temperature.
• Select "Dough" cycle; Add all ingredients, EXCEPT for breadcrumbs, in the order your machine requires.
• First Rise: When the machine is done kneading, the dough will be sticky (gooey dough means moist pan de sal); Place dough in a bowl greased with Pam spray and spray top of dough with more Pam; Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until doubled in volume (To test: gently poke dough with two fingers; if it leaves an impression without springing back, it is doubled).
• Second Rise: Gently deflate dough with your fist, then use a plastic spatula to divide dough into 24 ovals and roll them in the breadcrumbs.
• Line up ovals in a 9x13" ungreased cake pan with the rolls touching; that way, the pan de sal use each other for height support and not spread out like ciabatta; Let rise a second time for 30 minutes; Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 deg. F.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

EASY PANDESAL RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the yeast, sugar, and milk and stir until the yeast and sugar are fully dissolved. I've chosen milk instead of water because it just tastes better, but you can always use lukewarm water instead of the milk.
• In the mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder then mix well.
• Add the egg, butter, cooking oil, and yeast-sugar-milk mixture in the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients then mix again until dough is formed. You can use your hands to effectively mix the ingredients.
• In a flat surface, knead the dough until the texture becomes fine.
• Mould the dough and put back in the mixing bowl, cover with damp cloth and let the dough rise for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• After the dough has risen, transfer to a lightly floured working surface. Roll into a log then cut into four to six equal pieces. Take another portion of the dough, roll again into a log and cut into equal pieces, repeat this step until all the dough is done.
• Roll each piece of dough in breadcrumbs then arrange on a baking tray for at least an inch apart, you don't want it sticking together when it rises later on.
• Leave the dough in the tray to rise again for 15-20 minutes.
• Pre heat the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degree Celsius) for 10 minutes. If using a fan assisted oven, reduced the heat according to instructor's manual.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until nicely browned outside.

Steps:

• Pour yeast into water. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and set aside to soften, about 7 minutes.
• Mix 1/4 cup sugar, oil, and salt together in a bowl. Add softened yeast mixture and 1/2 of the flour. Mix well. Add remaining flour little by little, mixing constantly, until dough does not stick to the sides of the mixing bowl.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Form into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Brush surface of dough with more vegetable oil and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Punch dough down and roll into 2-inch rounds. Cover rolls with 1/2 of the fine bread crumbs and let rise again, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut rounds into 1 1/2-inch pieces and arrange on a slightly greased baking sheet, cut-side up. Sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes more.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
