Pandesal

Pandesal is a small buns usually made ​​fresh in the morning, usually an alternative to rice for breakfast. It is usually eaten with a cup of coffee.

The pandesal is a bread round eaten in the Philippines mainly for breakfast. It is made ​​of flour, eggs, lard, yeast, sugar and salt. It has a soft, powdery texture and is eaten in various ways with different fillings. It is also eaten with coffee or hot chocolate. Despite its name, has a slightly sweet taste. The pandesal is the most popular bread in the Philippines.




Pandesal was invented in 16th Century Spanish-Era Philippines Pandesal originally started out as a plain roll, traditionally served for breakfast and accompanied by butter, cheese, scrambled eggs or filled omelettes, sausages, bacon, Spanish sardines, jams, jellies and marmalade, coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Originally, pandesal was similar to the French baguette as the only ingredients needed were hard wheat flour, water, yeast and salt. Later on, the quality of available wheat flour could no longer produce the ideal crusty exterior and chewy interior, and thus pandesal gradually became sweeter and richer. The remaining commonality between the earlier lean pandesal and the modern version is the coating of bread crumbs, giving its identifying flavour.

Pandesal can be made from any type of dough and still resemble pandesal as long as the dough is rolled in fine breadcrumbs before baking. The softness of the newer type of pandesal—which consumers unaware of the proper texture now find desirable—is due to a weak dough structure derived from inferior quality flour.
