What is Filipino Sourdough Pandesal?
Filipino pandesal translates to salt bread, similar to the American-style dinner roll, with a sweet and savory taste.
The best and most appreciated part about the pandesal is the brilliant softness of the bread, coupled with its golden exterior, encrusted with breadcrumbs.
What To Eat With Sourdough Pandesal?
Sourdough pandesal can be enjoyed for breakfast and paired with almost anything. From dry to fresh fruits and buttered bread, there are no limits to elevating this scrumptious breakfast bread.
A popular and more classic breakfast choice would include pandesal coated in butter, stuffed with cheese, eggs, or even spread with all sorts of jams. Peanut butter is also at the top of the list when it comes to stuffing this incredibly soft breakfast roll.
