Steps
- Mix all dry ingredients and followed by the wet ingredients
- Start the mixer until all ingredients are well incorporated
- Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl from time to time to make sure all ingredients are well combined. Check the bottom of the bowl as well
Note: If needed, add water or all purpose flour to adjust the consistency of the dough. The dough needs to be elastic and smooth
- Once the dough is elastic and smooth, proof it for an hour or so in a warm space (I use inside the oven with hot water on the side to create a warm environment)
- After an hour or double its size, punch down to release the air
- Form it into a log shape and cut into small chunks weighs 45g
- Form the small dough into a smooth ball and use a rolling pin to flatten it
- Cut a slice of cream cheese into dice weights 9g each
- Add the diced cream cheese in the small dough and tucking the folded side under until you form a smooth ball
- Transfer the small dough in the tray with breadcrumbs and coat with breadcrumbs
- Place on a baking tray and repeat the process until you consume all the dough
Note: You can make around 32 pcs of pandesal - Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean cloth and put in a warm place same as 1st proofing for around 40 minutes or it doubles the size
- Preheat oven to 340F and bake it for 10-11 minutes or until it reaches your desired brownness
- Serve it
