Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a big bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt.

* Step 2

Pour in milk, beaten egg and melted butter. Mix several times until well blended. Make sure that the milk is only mildly warm and not hot.

* Step 3

Add the instant dry yeast and fold until a sticky dough forms.

* Step 4

Tip the dough on a floured surface and knead until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes.

* Step 5

Form the dough into a ball and lightly coat with oil. Place it in a bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm area and let it rise until it doubled in size. Depending how warm it is, could take 30 minutes to an hour.

* Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide into 2 equal parts using a knife or dough slicer. Roll each into a log. Cut each log into 6 smaller pieces.

* Step 7

Shape each piece into a ball and roll it in breadcrumbs, completely covering all sides.

* Step 8

Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet living some gaps in between (at least an inch). Leave them to rise second time until double in size.

* Step 9

While waiting, preheat oven 370° F /185°C. Bake the Pandesal for 15 minutes or until the sides are a bit browned. Remove from oven and serve while hot!
