Method

  1. 1

    Bake. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted using a dough hook, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix on low speed till everything is uniformly mixed. Add milk, oil, eggs and egg yolk, and blend till a shaggy dough forms, around 2 minutes. Increase speed to mid-sized and carry on mixing till dough is smooth plus pulls away off these sides of the bowl (it will remain attached in order to bottom of bowl plus be tacky), around 10 minutes. Move dough to a gently oiled big bowl, cover loosely with cling film, and leave to sit at warm room temperature (25°C/24°C) till roughly doubled in size, around 1 1/2 hours using a bowl scraper. Line a rimmed baking tray with baking paper. Fill a wide shallow bowl using breadcrumbs. Turn dough onto one clean, floured surface, yet do not deflate. Share in 16 equal portions (2 1/3 ounces; 65g every). Working using one portion after another, cup dough beneath your palm plus work it in quick circular motions in order to form a smooth ball. Move portion to bowl with breadcrumbs, roll to uniformly coat with breadcrumbs on all sides, and move to ready baking tray. Repeat with leftover portions of dough, spacing each around 2.5 cm apart on ready baking tray. Cover loosely with cling film, and let to rise at warm room temperature (25°C/24°C) till almost doubled in size, around 1 hour. (Alternatively, cover tightly with cling film, and chill overnight till swollen plus soft, among 10 plus 12 hours). Thirty minutes before baking, adjust oven rack in order to middle position plus heat to 175°C (180°C). Bake pandesal till puffed and golden brown, around 20 minutes. Move to a serving platter, and eat at once.
