You can buy this bread as early as 4:00 in the morning in your nearest bakery.
My grandparents used to own a bakery and we liked our Pan de sal either dipped in barako coffee or smothered with some butter on top.
Missing the aroma of freshly baked pan de sal, I searched for a recipe and tried it at home.
Pan de Sal recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup of lukewarm water
1 tsp of instant dry yeast
1 tsp of salt
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of oil
1-1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cup of bread flour
extra flour for dusting
extra oil for greasing the bowl
1/4 cup of fine bread crumbs for coating
Procedure:
1. Pour water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast over it. Leave for 10 minutes or until mixture is bubbly.
2. Add the salt, sugar and oil to the yeast mixture and stir.
3. Add 3/4 cups each of the all-purpose and bread flours. Mix well. The dough should be wet and sticky at this point.
4. Add the remaining flour and mix well. The texture of the dough is uneven at this point but will start to come together.
5. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until it becomes elastic.
6. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, turning it around to coat entire surface with oil.
7. Cover bowl and place in a dark place, away from direct light, to make it rise.
Tip: 1-2 hours will have the dough doubled in size; but for softer bread, leave it for another 1-2 hours.
8. Punch the dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll into log then cut into four equal pieces.
9. take one portion and roll again into a log. Cut into six pieces. Do the same to the other three portions.
10. Roll each piece of the dough in bread crumbs. Arrange on a baking try at least an inch apart. Leave to rise for another 30 to 45 minutes.
11. About 10 minutes before the dough is done rising, preheat oven to 325F and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Preparation time seems forever but the final result was so soft and yum!
