Pan de Sal

Ok... I tried to make this a few weeks ago for Tawny's birthday... but ended up with a gooey mess. I don't know what I did wrong... well... I guess the first thing was not paying attention.

Anyway... I asked for dinner suggestions on Saturday and Tawny asked for the Chicken Adobo I didn't make on her birthday. Sure I can totally do that. I told her I'd make Pan de Sal too. And this time it came out great!

Pan de Sal is a Filipino sweet bread roll.

Pan de Sal (printable recipe)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons softened butter
1 tablespoon oil
4 cups flour
3 teaspoons yeast
bread crumbs

Place all ingredients except bread crumbs into a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Select the Dough cycle, and press start.
When the cycle has ended, remove the dough from the machine, and form into 2 inch balls.
Dip each dough ball in bread crumbs.
Place the rolls on a parchment lined, baking sheet crumb-side up.
Cover loosely with a cloth or plastic, and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Bake rolls for 8 minutes, or until golden brown on the top and bottom.

Select the Dough cycle, and press start.

When the dough cycle has ended, pull the dough out. I just plop it onto one of my parchment paper lined baking sheets.

Roll into two inch balls and dip into bread crumbs.

My dough balls are more blob shaped than ball shaped.

These are great dinner rolls... they are also really good with jam or cheese.

Those look wicked good, I've never even heard of them before. I bet you could season the breadcrumbs to match whatever you are having them with.

Interesting! I've never thought of that!

These look amazing! Of course I am a sucker for fresh baked bread. The breadcrumbs are a great idea, I bet they add a little extra crunch to a typically soft roll. Delicious!

I just found this on your site! I love pan de sal but only get to eat it when we go to California. Now I can make it myself. I particularly love the fact that I can use my bread machine! Woo-hoo!

That's the only place I've ever had it either!! And there is no Filipino market anywhere remotely near me, so I was very excited to find this recipe!
