Pan De Sal - Filipino Bread Rolls

Ingredients

To make your own Pan De Sal, gather the following ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (or 1 packet)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (for coating)

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your mouth-watering Pan De Sal:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture, along with the vegetable oil.
  3. Mix everything together until a dough forms. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10-15 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
  5. Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it back to the floured surface. Divide the dough into small pieces, about the size of golf balls.
  6. Shape each piece into a ball and roll it in breadcrumbs to coat. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.
  7. Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, until they puff up again.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Pan De Sal!

These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, and they pair wonderfully with butter, cheese, or even jam. Happy baking!
