Making Variety Breads

Learn how to make the most basic of all doughs, lean, semi rich, sweet yeast doughs, and you will end up making breads you have never imagined yourself doing. Below is a sweet yeast dough turned into loaves, with brown sugar and butter filling, i sometimes use apples and cinnamon in this basic loaf bread for zpecial occasions. My former teacher at OB Montessori once held a party for some close friends in her office in UP and so i sent her 3 of these loaves. They couldn't wait to slice the coffeecakes as she told me later.



The next one is an UBE BREAD, from another sweet yeast, semi rich dough that i did for our Christmas dinner. I make a lot because my brother in law loves these breads for desserts.

Making cuts on the coffeecake to help in the rising and to create a decorative effect once baked

Same dough, there is a fruit and nut filling inside, then sprinkled some brown sugar on top. I will later on brush this with butter once baked.


I spread a few of the ube on top halfway through the proofing.

Baking the breads now...

Yum! I remember bringing these breads on their hot pans to my sister's place, what a delight.

Of course there is the Malunggay Pandesal featured somewhere here last year (please see archives). I have a large Malunggay tree in front of my window and i know the antioxidant quality of this vegetable is so i gave it a try. My nephews did not even notice it.

These cinnamon rolls also uses the same basic sweet yeast dough but i add a few more yolks to create a softer bread base. This image was taken when i went to Canada for my Cake Decorating lessons at Golda's Kitchen. One day after, they were gone.



Got to have my breads and so i made some for myself, a lean dough French bread type but i added some oatmeal and seeds into it to give it some form of roughage. Good for you sort of bread.

Corned Beef Pandesal, the Pandesal dough from class filled with Purefood's Corned beef, miss ko na itong brand na ito, every month we would have this recipe on our first day of class and most students have them for lunch. Fresh off the oven, 3 of this can fill you up for sure.

This is a batch of Pan de coco made by the students, the lighting makes the filling almost invisible so i apologize. The dough we used is the Soft Bun Dough.

Raisin loaves or breads with a twist, and Mongo bread in ensaimada molds.

Cooling the Mongo Rolls

Vanilla and Chocolate filled rolls, i used the Soft Bun dough again, but you can use any basic dough such as the Pandesal dough, Dinner roll, or Sweet Yeast dough. More to come....

First Trial Pandesal

This is an email from Jorge Garcia, he just downloaded a copy of the ebook last week and he already made his first pandesal. To you Jorge, wait till you try the other breads, i recommend the monay which is my all time personal favorite indulgence, meaning, when i want to pig out and stuff breads in my mouth with just plain coffee while i watch tv. No palaman just plain monay. After reading the ebook for 3 times, you will be able to learn more of the techniques and procedures. I am happy for you. Hi Sher, OMG, almost perfect on the first try !  Thank you! I read your ebooks (twice) over the long weekend and tried to absorb as much as I can.  Although I  encountered some of the concepts in my research your ebooks were amazingly informative.   I read about the idea of poolish and biga before but was not paying attention to them because all the recipes I found for pandesal did not use them.  When you advised that I make a sponge overnight and menti...

Cutting Pandesal, Baston Style

So how do we really do the Baston style "singkit" cut? First start with a slightly stiff dough, if your dough does not have eggs or eggyolks, a hydration of around 55% is ideal. I have seen bakers use less water, but that will make your Pandesal too dry and dense after 1 day or so so try to keep it slightly on the soft side, but not too sticky. Why? If you use a sticky dough for the Baston style cut, the dough will spread and will have a flat look rather than a rounded shape we are all familiar with. In Tagalog, "lalapad" ang dough so medyo flat ung Pandesal. So after you mix the dough, divide it into 2 to 4 portions if you are mixing  kilogram. Experienced bakers divide their dough into 500 gram portions, i do mine the same way. Flatten the dough, focusing more on the length and not on the height. The height of the dough should be around 2 to 3 inches only. Next, fold the dough while pinching the edges making sure the dough surface ...

3rd Class Flour, What's It All About

For starters i cannot make this Hard Monay if i did not bring any 3rd class flour or soft weak flour to New York. Once i ran out of 3rd class and tried Cake Flour, it turned bad, do not even think of using All Purpose, it will be soft but not chewy as this one made with yes, 3rd class indeed. So third class is hard to find here in the US if you will use that term. You have to say or look for soft wheat flour, that's it, not hard wheat flour, not cake or All purpose but something in between these two. It is easy to find in the Phil., just ask your local bakery suppliers and they know it is Tercera. Tercera is not for bread, bakers use it basically for cookies, cakes and other pastries, but we bakers know how to create bread recipes using part of this flour with the bread flour or hard wheat flour. It makes a softer version of any of your fave breads, with a cheaper price tag. Plus if i own a bakery, i get to use the third class for my cakes and cookies, lowering my food cos...
