Pandesal is a popular bread in the Philippines 🇵🇭. My husband’s family is Chinese-Filipino, so I’ve been a huge pandesal fan for a very long time. Unfortunately, there are no Filipino bakeries near us, so we’ve ordered pandesal online in the past. I finally decided to make them at home.I prefer feathery, light and fluffy pandesal. This recipe achieves that by using tangzhong. Tangzhong is a thick pudding‑like gel made by cooking flour in liquid. Mixing this gel into the dough lets you create a high hydration dough that isn’t overly sticky. In the oven, the abundance of water turns to steam and inflates the dough, making it light and soft. Tangzhong also extends the shelf life of baked goods.This recipe requires a LOT of kneading, which is critical to obtaining the right dough texture. The dough also starts out very gooey and sticky, which is very difficult to knead by hand. For optimal results, you need a stand mixer.This recipe is from Michael Grode#Asian #Classic #Snack #Breakfast #Lunch #BreadWeek2025
