Pan De Sal - Filipino Bread Rolls

Total Time: 2 hrs Preparation Time: 35 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 24
• 1 cup skim milk (110-115 deg. f)
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (do not use "spreads")
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 cups bread flour (4 cups weigh 18 oz)
• 3 teaspoons bread machine yeast
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Recipe

• 1 microwave milk on high for 30 seconds; warm uncracked egg to room temperature by placing in hot water for 60 seconds, then beat lightly; melt or soften butter to room temperature.
• 2 select "dough" cycle; add all ingredients, except for breadcrumbs, in the order your machine requires.
• 3 first rise: when the machine is done kneading, the dough will be sticky (gooey dough means moist pan de sal); place dough in a bowl greased with pam spray and spray top of dough with more pam; cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until doubled in volume (to test: gently poke dough with two fingers; if it leaves an impression without springing back, it is doubled).
• 4 second rise: gently deflate dough with your fist, then use a plastic spatula to divide dough into 24 ovals and roll them in the breadcrumbs.
• 5 line up ovals in a 9x13" ungreased cake pan with the rolls touching; that way, the pan de sal use each other for height support and not spread out like ciabatta; let rise a second time for 30 minutes; meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 deg. f.
• 6 bake for 15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
