Filipino Bread Recipes

Spanish Bread - also known as señorita bread. A sweet rolled bread filled with buttery and sugary breadcrumbs. This is probably the second most favorite Filipino bread next to pandesal. I have yet to learn its origin but it is evidently of Spanish influence judging from its name.

This bread is a part of my childhood and it's one of the first recipes I posted here in RTK. Happy to report that it is also a favorite by many of my readers.

Soft Cheese Rolls - Super soft, luscious, pillowy rolled bread filled with cheese then slathered with butter and sugar on top. ⁠It's like Ensaymada in another form. YES?!⁠ One thing you'll love about this recipe is that the dough only requires one proofing and the rising time is faster than your regular dough recipe.

Baked Pork Buns (Asado Bread Roll) - As the name implies, it is a Pandesal bread filled with sweet-salty pork filling. This is also known as Asado roll in the Philippines. It is similar to Chinese BBQ pork buns but the filling is made of braised pork instead of char siu. For variation, you can brush the top with egg wash instead of rolling in breadcrumbs.

Ube Cheese Bread - Here I share 3 delicious ways of making an ube flavored bread. Choose from pandesal, cheese roll, and my favorite, with sweet and delicious ube filling! You can make this using fresh ube (purple yam) or sweet purple potato as a substitute.

Brown Pandesal - Another variation of pandesal made of bread flour and wholemeal flour. I would also like to call this "healthy-ish" pandesal. It contains less butter compared to my other pandesal recipe but is still equally good. I also recommend adding a flaxseed meal for some omega-3 goodness!⁠

Pan de Coco - Soft and buttery baked buns filled with sweetened coconut filling. You can make this with freshly grated coconut or desiccated coconut. In the recipe, I shared the best way to rehydrate desiccated coconut.

Super Soft Ensaymada - The BEST Ensaymada recipe you'll ever make! Made with lots of egg yolks and butter. Really sinful and delicious!

This is recipe is technically easy to make as it doesn't involve coiling the dough or using any special mold. The rising time however takes longer than your usual bread recipe but fret not. There are ways to quicken the process and I've shared them in the post.
