Pan De Sal - Filipino Bread Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 cup skim milk (110-115 deg. F)
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (do not use "spreads")
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 cups bread flour (4 cups weigh 18 oz)
• 3 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.
