Classic Filipino Pandesal Recipe
Here is the Classic Filipino Pandesal Recipe that most people are familiar with. Pandesal is a breakfast staple among Filipinos and by learning to make your own, there will be no need to go the bakery every morning.
Pandesal or pan de sal (Filipino and Spanish for “salt bread”), is a common bread roll in the Philippines. It is made of flour, eggs, yeast, sugar and salt. Pan de sal is a popular yeast-raised bread in the Philippines. Individual loaves are shaped by rolling the dough into long logs (bastón, Spanish for “stick”) which are rolled in fine bread crumbs. These are then portioned, allowed to rise, and baked. It is most commonly served hot and may be eaten as is, or dipped in coffee, hot chocolate or milk. It can also be complemented with butter, margarine, cheese, jam, peanut butter, chocolate spread, or other fillings like eggs, sardines and meat. Its taste and texture closely resemble those of the Puerto Rican bread pan de agua, French baguette, and Mexican bolillos. Contrary to its name, pan de sal tastes slightly sweet rather than salty. Most bakeries bake pandesal in the morning for breakfast consumption, though some bake pandesal the whole day.

Ingredients
2 cups bread flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 pouch rapid rise yeast
1/2 cup white sugar
5 tbsp melted butter
1 1/4 cup fresh milk (lukewarm)
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 tbsp cooking oil
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and milk. Stir until the yeast and sugar are fully dissolved. You can also use water instead of 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 flat 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 (so it won’t stick together when it rises later on).
- Leave the dough in the tray to rise again for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven at 190°C (375°F) for 10 minutes. If using a fan assisted oven, reduce the heat according to the user’s manual.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned outside.
- Enjoy with different “palaman” like Peanut Butter.

Great article, just what I was looking for.
This is a pretty great post. I’ve been thinking of starting a blog on this subject myself. Any tips or anything you would recommend that I to avoid?
