Cusinera’s Pandesal making is getting better…

PANDESAL2© BUSOG! SARAP! 2010

Remember the Notes I left at the end of my post on my Pandesal (Filipino Breakfast Bread Rolls)?  Well, I can’t help myself but follow it up with more pictures….

LIGHT COLOURED BAKING TRAYS

Here I used a lighter coloured baking tray, no baking paper or greasing.  This time I’ve measured the portions on a 1/4 measuring cup (20-21 pcs.).

Wonderful Pandesal bottoms, if I may say so….I lowered my oven temperature than the recommended degrees and baked for approximately 30 minutes.  I only baked them until they became lightly golden as I freeze Pandesal rolls for further use but if you want a more crusty exterior just bake them longer.

COOLING PANDESAL© BUSOG! SARAP! 2010

Run a long flat metal spatula under the Pandesal rolls so that the whole batch slides easily from your baking tray to your cooling rack.  I made 3 batches yesterday and this will last for a couple of weeks.

PACKAGED HOME MADE PANDESAL© BUSOG! SARAP! 2010

Here, I used freezer bags and a sealing machine to pack my Pandesal Rolls ready for the freezer.  I only defrost what I needed for the day by placing the packet inside my fridge the night before and either lightly toast the rolls under the grill or microwave them for 10-20 seconds.

This Pandesal rolls still maintained its soft texture after been frozen, defrosted and reheated.

Mmmmm, I'd forgotten how nice crunchy bottoms are :P Nice idea with freezing them, I haven't made pandesal in so long because I'm scared of binging on them! But if I know I'm going to freeze them for later, then I can enjoy them with a little less guilt ;)

You are really getting better at this. Soon you will be adding a title to Cusinera. It will be Cusinera-Panadera! Just kidding. Your pandesal looks good.
