January 23 - Pan de Sal for Breakfast

Pan de Sal became a favorite of my family. I get pan de sal from Red Ribbon. Their pan de sal tastes really good, sweet and creamy.

My first shot at making pan de sal is impressive enough. It came out soft. I was very generous with the bread crumbs. Bread crumbs made the bread crusty on the outside.

It was not as sweet like Red Ribbon's. So if you need it sweeter, just add more sugar to the recipe.


Pan de Sal
Ingredients
2 cups of sourdough starter (If you do not have a sourdough starter, use 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of water and 1 package of yeast instead)
3 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour
1 package of yeast
5 tbsp butter
1 tbsp salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup milk
bread crumbs





Preparation Time
Warm the milk and the butter (about 1 minute in the microwave).
Add the salt and sugar.
Add the yeast.
Add the sourdough starter and 3 cups of flour (Add more flour if the dough is still watery).
Mix and knead the dough (it will be very sticky).
Place in a greased bowl, cover and let it stand until the dough has double its size.
Using a server spoon, make 24 pieces and roll each piece in a bowl of bread crumbs.
Place the rolls (side by side) in a large pan.
Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit
or until the top is light brown.
