Pandesal, which means “salt bread“, is a type of Filipino bread roll made of flour, yeast, eggs, salt, and sugar. It is soft, airy, chewy and has a slightly crunchy crust outside. Contrary to its name, pandesal bread tastes slightly sweet rather than salty. There are varieties of pandesal you can find like raisin pandesal, whole wheat pandesal, cheese pandesal, and malunggay pandesal. But the best pandesal recipe is the traditional and plain homemade pandesal.
Pandesal is commonly served during breakfast and snack but most bakeries today have it available all day. It is best served hot and you can consume it by dipping in coffee like how most Filipinos prefer. Pandesal can also be complemented with butter, cheese, jam, or peanut butter. It can also be paired with tsokolate. Click to learn how to make your own tablea tsokolate (Chocolate Tablets).

Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cup of bread flour
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 and 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar. Stir to combine. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until yeast has activated and mixture is foamy.

- Pour yeast mixture into the bowl. Add remaining sugar, butter, and lightly whisked eggs.

- Sprinkle flour on a flat surface.
- Knead the dough on the floured surface for 7 to 10 mins until dough comes together to form a smooth ball.

- Cut the batons into pandesal pieces.

So easy to make and very tasty!
I made these on Monday and they turned out great!!
I had honey butter and sugar/cinnamon butter with them. My husband really loved them. My first time making bread the proper way & the punch was very satisfying! I’ll be making them again and I have a little more confidence to try another kind of bread.
