Cusinera’s Pandesal making is getting better…

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….

PANDESAL READY FOR 2ND RISING© BUSOG! SARAP! 2010

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.

  1. 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 ;)

  2. 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.

  11. @Anonymous~ it will take awhile if you knead by hand, because you have to make the gluten in dough develops (when you stretch your dough after 1st rest and it have this stringy appearance), if this fails to develop the outcome would be matigas. Glad that your mixer version worked really well, I have this love connection with my mixer...it saves me from having sore wrists from manual kneading =)
