Filipino Pan De Sal with butter

Pandesal is a classic Filipino bread roll that is particularly eaten for breakfast. It is soft and airy and slightly sweet. Normally eaten as a sandwich with one's favorite filling.

Pandesal is probably the most popular bread in the Philippines. It is a favorite breakfast that can be eaten on its own, dunked in coffee or with filling like coconut jam, peanut butter, cheese, cheese spread, corned beef, egg, hotdogs or practically anything you can think of or whatever leftovers you have laying in your fridge.

Another pandesal favorite is it's hybrid, Ube pandesal . It combines Filipino halea in its flour, which develops a strong purple color from the sweet purple potato. Bakers also add a cheese filling inside! Halea is a filipino dessert. It's is a thick puree of the Ube potato (also known as the sweet purple potato) Although it has a strong purple color, it is quite tasty and sweetened with condensed milk.
