Pandesal Recipe

Combine milk 2 teaspoons sugar and yeast in a large bowl; stir until sugar and yeast are fully dissolved about 5 minutes.

Mix remaining sugar flour and salt together in a large bowl. Pour in milk mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until dough comes together.

Turn dough out onto a flat work surface. Knead until smooth. Shape into a ball and return to the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled at least 1 hour.

Divide dough into 4 equal portions using a bench knife. Roll each portion into a log; slice diagonally into 1-inch pieces.

Pour bread crumbs onto a large plate. Roll each piece of dough in bread crumbs and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise until puffy 30 to 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
