Pandesal (Philippines' version of rolls)


1/2 c water
1/4 c evap milk
1/2 c fresh milk
1 egg (in room temp. TIP: I set the egg out overnight)
1/2 c sugar
5 tbsp softened butter
2 tbsp oil
4 c flour
3 tsp active dry yeast
bread crumbs

Direction
Combine water, evap milk and fresh milk then heat in microwave for 35 sec. (TIP: the mixture should be lukewarm not hot).  In a bowl, pour lukewarm liquid mixture and add all ingredients according to list of  order. Mix well with a dough mixer (if you dont have one, pwede n un wooden spoon! then mix it manually). 

Mix it for 20 mins.

Sprinkle a little bit of flour on your working surface. Turn the dough out. Knead the dough w/ your hands by folding it when pushing it with the base of your palm. Knead for 15 mins. Dust w/ flour if needed. Remember the dough needs to be a little bit sticky, so do not add to much flour when kneading.

Put the dough back in the bowl. Cover loosely w/ a damp, clean cloth or plastic wrap sprayed w/ nonstick cooking spray. Set the dough in a warm, draft free place. Keep the dough covered until it doubles in size.

Preheat oven to 375F ( 190C )
Spray 2 baking sheets w/ non stick cooking spray.  When the dough is ready, scoop a small amount (about the size of an egg), shape it by putting your palm together. Place on baking sheet, 1 1/2 inch apart. Sprinkle w/ bread crumbs. Cover and leave in warm corner until doubled. Bake for 15 mins or until golden brown.
