Pan De Sal - Filipino Bread Rolls

Recipe #122174 | 2 hours | 35 min prep | SERVES 24 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: May M

I grew up eating pan de sal for breakfast or merienda (snack). My favorite was Baliwag-style, enriched with milk, butter and egg. Knead dough in bread machine, then shape and bake in regular oven. Breadcrumbs provide that distinctive crunchy crust. Masarap (delicious)! **Dough ball should be as sticky as the back of a Post-it Note. Otherwise, add up to 2 TBL of flour or water, as needed.**

Ingredients

  • cup skim milk (110-115 deg. F)
  • tablespoons unsalted butter (do not use "spreads")
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • cups bread flour (4 cups weigh 18 oz)
  • teaspoons bread machine yeast
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • Directions

    1. 1
      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.
    2. 2
      Select "Dough" cycle; Add all ingredients, EXCEPT for breadcrumbs, in the order your machine requires.
    3. 3
      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).
    4. 4
      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.
    5. 5
      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.
    6. 6
      Bake for 15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

    Your recipe makes the lightest, moistest, tastiest pan de sal I've ever baked. I followed the recipe almost exactly, I baked them at 350F for 20 minutes (I forgot to read the oven temp). Thank you for the excellent recipe! It is definitely a keeper.

    This is so good. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I cut the sugar in half and added flax seeds. It still turned out well.
