Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, 1/4 cup of sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
In a saucepan, warm the almond milk, water, and vegetable oil over low heat until just lukewarm. Remove from heat to ensure it does not get too hot, which could kill the yeast.
Step 3
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, and gradually add the warm liquid mixture. Stir gradually with a wooden spoon or spatula until the ingredients are combined.
Step 4
Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 5
Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a floured surface and divide it into 16 equal pieces.
Step 7
Shape each piece into a ball by tucking the edges into the center and rolling it on the counter until a smooth ball is formed.
Step 8
Roll each dough ball lightly in breadcrumbs to coat all sides evenly, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.
Step 9
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes or until they have doubled in size.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are rising for the second time.
Step 11
Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free pandesal!
