HOW TO MAKE A PUDDING, PINOY STYLE


ANY LEFTOVER BREADS, DRIED BREADS AS LONG AS THEY HAVE NO MOLDS IN THEM, YOU CAN USE THESE TO MAKE YOUR HOMESTYLE PUDDING.


MOIST BUT NOT DENSE, I MAKE THIS FOR MY MOTHER SINCE SHE LIKES SOFT FOODS AND SHE CANNOT CHEW ON THE CRUSTY BREADS AND COOKIES I REGULARLY BAKE. GOOD THING WE HAVE LEFTOVERS!!!! NO NUTS PLEASE!!!!

A GOOD PUDDING IS MADE USING A BAIN MARIE, PLACE THE PUDDING PAN ON A LARGER BAKING PAN WITH WATER AT THE BOTTOM. STEAM BAKE FOR 40 MINUTES OR UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN.

DO NOT FORGET TO GREASE THE BAKING DISH OR THE PUDDING WILL STICK A LITTLE, YOU WANT NICE CLEAN CUTS...


THE PUDDING PLACED ON A SQUARE DISH, PAT SOME BUTTER OR MARGARINE ON TOP IF YOU LIKE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STEAM BAKE RIGHT AWAY, YOU CAN ALLOW THE RAISINS TO SOAK FOR AN HOUR TO SOFTEN THEM.

ADDING RAISINS TO THE PUDDING GIVES IT A TWIST... YOU MAY ADD SOME DRIED CRANBERRIES ALSO.

ADD SUGAR TO THE MIXTURE OF BREAD, MILK AND EGGS. ADJUST THE SWEETNESS.


SHRED LEFTOVER BREADS AND SOAK WITH MILK AND BEATEN EGGS.




THE PUDDING AFTER 45 MINUTES, 350 F. GOLDEN BROWN AND CRISPY OUTSIDE, WHICH IS MY SHARE.... MY MOTHER GETS THE CENTER PORTIONS. THIS KEEPS PRETTY WELL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR AT LEAST 4 DAYS, BUT IF YOU LIVE IN A HOT CLIMATE, REFRIGERATE AFTER TWO DAYS. OURS STAY FRESH FOR A WEEK ON THE KITCHEN TABLE OR PANTRY, COVERED IN A TUPPERWARE DISH.

THE RECIPE:

ABOUT 4 - 5 CUPS OF LEFTOVER BREAD, NOT STALE YOU CAN USE DRIED BREAD
1 CUP SUGAR, ADJUST THE SWEETNESS, YOU CAN USE SPLENDA GRADUALLY
EGGS, 3 PIECES
MILK, ABOUT 1 1/2 CUP TO MOISTEN THE BREADS, NOT TOO WET OR THE PUDDING WILL BE TOO MUSHY
VANILLA, ABOUT 1 TABLESPOON
MARGARINE, 1/4 CUP ONLY SINCE THE BREADS HAVE MARGARINE ALREADY...

MIX EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE THE BREADS ARE SOAKED IN THE MILK/EGGS, ADD THE RAISINS, IF THE BREAD IS TOO DRY, ADD MORE MILK OR WATER...
YOU CAN ALSO USE BROWN SUGAR IF YOU LIKE, ANY KIND OF MILK WILL DO.

LOCAL BAKERIES DO NOT USE EVAPORATED MILK BECAUSE OF THE STEEP PRICE, SO YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE WITH HALF MILK AND WATER. I FIND WHOLE MILK TO BE THE BEST AS WELL AS EVAPORATED MILK.

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...

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 ...

Bake Malunggay Pandesal and Set Up A Bakery At Home

Two of my students for this month, Jenn Apares and Belle Nakpil. Having fun on our 3rd day of session making Monggo Breads. Jenn was able to bake these Malunggay Pandesal as part of their assignment and things to do at home in between our session. This is why there are always a 2 day gap in my class, to give the students time to practice what they've learned and then bring some dough and bread for me to look at. Belle forgot her breads at home so i am very satisfied with Jenn's first time with Pandesal. It needs at least 3% malunggay to be visible but the Pandesal is excellent. I am so happy for Jenn, she can now help her parents' bakery. Finally. This is only after our 2nd session, i admit i have to push my students but it was all worth the challenge. Plus, they had fun doing it!!! after chopping the fresh leaves, just pulse them into the finished dough, lightly kneading to incorporate the veggies. Now that obviously has Malunggay! My...
