These tasted really 'milky', even though I only had 1/2 cup milk and subbed the rest with water. i ended up making 24 smaller rolls, cuz my Filipino maid kept telling me to make them smaller when I was shaping them,even she said they were yummy!!XD <333

I have been wanting to make pan de sal for a long time. I scoured the internet for a pan de sal recipe that is similar to the pan de sal I grew up with back home. So I made a big batch of these and was very impressed! I gave some to a friend and she thought they were store-bought. She was very surprised when I told her that they were homemade!

It's ok. Maybe I did not something wrong but it didn't taste like an authentic pandesal.

I followed this recipe exactly and the dough barely rose at all. Its like unlevened bread. It still tastes ok, but something has got to be off in the ingredients- I dont know what.

Great recipe!! I changed the temperature to 350 degrees instead. Use a non-stick sheet instead of using cooking spray, because the bottom will get burnt. Other than that, excellent recipe...authentic filipino dinner rolls!

Homemade pan de sal is difficult to find and this came close. It came out heavy the first time. But the second time was better. I've tried rolling out the dough and spreading ube (purple yam) in the middle and rolling it up and baking it. Tastes just like bread from the filipino bakeries! Thanks!

The first time I tried this, I overworked the bread and made MONAY rolls instead. I tried it a second time, taking care not to overwork the dough and increase the proofing time, but the bread still came out heavy. I'm going to hope the third time's the charm, but will have to increase the yeast for a lighter bread. I opted to give this a 4-star review because it made such good MONAY bread that I'll be using the original recipie again. Thanks Kim for the multi-purpose recipe.

The bread came out to heavy and it wasn't sweet enough. I will have to increase the sugar a bit and definetly will add another packet of yeast.

I tried a different recipe of pan de sal and it came out a bit hard on the outside but soft and tasty on the inside. Then I tried this recipe and it came out so much better. Now I dont have to buy it from the Philippine Bread House anymore. Thanks so much.

ran out of all purpose flour and used cake flour instead. also used butter to coat dough. and it came out great! gone in no time. i even stuffed the dough with ham and cheese (bite size) right before putting in the oven. baked at 375 for 15-20 min until top was lightly golden brown.

Thanksgiving morning I realized that I didn't quite have the 6 cups of all purpose flour required for this recipe, so I substituted bread flour to make up the difference (@ 1 1/2 cups). These came out perfect. Everyone seemed to really enjoy them, especially slathered with butter. They were quite easy to prepare, yet made the holiday just that much more special. Although the prep time stated is 2 hours, you only actually handle the dough for @ 20 - 30 minutes. The remaining time the dough is rising. Not much time invested for an end result so good. You should definitely try this recipe!

Great bread that stales slowly (still soft 4 days later). Went over well at a Mother's Day brunch - all ages enjoyed it. Very rich and silky texture.

These rolls taste really good, but I tried the recipe twice, and both times, it came out really heavy; it hardly rose at all. Maybe I need to go lighter on the flour?
