Pandesal Baking Tips:

  • If you use active dry yeast instead of rapid-rise/instant yeast, you must proof the yeast before pouring it into the mixture. Water temperature for yeast proofing should be within 105-115°F otherwise it will kill the yeast.
    Mix wet and dry ingredients well before leaving the dough to rest. Make sure there are no lumps of unmixed flour.
    Pandesal dough is normally sticky. To provide ease and help with kneading, you may grease the kneading surface and your hands lightly with oil and 1 teaspoon of flour.
    Check the dough using a windowpane test to see if it is properly kneaded. To do a windowpane test, take a small portion of your dough and stretch it out. Well-kneaded dough will form a translucent film at the center without breaking.
    Be sure that the dough portions should cover the cubed cheese completely otherwise the cheese will drip out after baking.

How to Knead Dough:

  • Pandesal dough is quite sticky which means that if you don’t know how to properly knead the dough; you’ll end up with a messy countertop and dough sticking all over the place.
    Before kneading the dough, make sure you let it rest for about 20 minutes. This allows the dough to hydrate and properly absorb all the ingredients. It will also allow you to work on the dough a little bit better once it absorbs all the moisture from the ingredients.
    After 20 minutes, you can start kneading the dough. Slap the dough to the kneading board, fold it over in half, pick it up again and repeat. Do this multiple times for about 5 minutes or until the texture become smooth and elastic.
    The technique to this method is to do it quickly without slowing down to lessen sticking on your kneading board.
