Corned Beef Pandesal

I am not so very adventurous when it comes to creating recipes.

 

Thus the blog name ‘The Not So Creative Cook’. I am always afraid to try new things. Maybe I’ll be up to face some challenges, but it takes time. I always have this feeling that I might mess up the traditional way of serving them. You know what I mean? I know it is fun and nice to have a twist on a classic or traditional recipe, but if I am making them myself, I get a little anxious.

 

Pandesal is a kind of bread I grew up with. We usually enjoy it by dunking it in coffee or with eggs and/or cheese. The whole family loves Pandesal, but not the idea of using canned corned beef as a filling. I do. Sometimes, I get a small portion of canned corned beef from my share to use it as a filling. I never knew that you could fill the Pandesal before baking. Ha! Where have I been? See? I am sticking to traditions. Or maybe I just prefer my canned corned beef with fried rice rather than bread. 😀

In this recipe, I used a canned corned beef. It is not too healthy, I know. You could use homemade or store-bought. You may season or cook the corned beef however you like it. I just cooked mine in oil with onions.

After this recipe, I think I will be more confident in making Pandesal with other fillings. Hmmm, I wonder what’s the next one will be.

I hope you like these version. 😉 I am taking these with me at Fiesta Friday #217. Our co-hosts this week are Abbey and guess who?? Yay! It’s Angie!! 😀 Thanks, ladies!! Happy Fiesta Friday!

Corned Beef Pandesal

Pandesal, now filled with sautéed corned beef. These make a perfect breakfast or snack.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Resting Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes
Servings 10 buns

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 135 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 130 g (1 cup) bread flour
  • 56 g (1/4) cup white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 155 ml (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) whole milk warm (110-115 F)
  • 1 small egg room temperature
  • 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 37 ml (2 1/2 tbsp) butter melted
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs*
  • 10-12 tbsp sautéed corned beef*

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine flours, yeast, sugar and baking powder. Mix to incorporate. Add salt and mix again.

  2. In another bowl, mix warm milk, egg, oil and butter. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, mix until well combined.

  3. In a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic using your clean hands. Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl. (This can be done using a stand mixer.) Cover with cling wrap for one hour or until doubled in size. 

    Kneading time will vary depending on the speed of your mixer or your energy when kneading. 😀

  4. When the dough has doubled in size, transfer to a lightly floured surface. 

  5. Divide the dough into 50-52 g each. 

  6. Flatten each dough (like what you do when making buns, about 3 to 3.5 inches in diameter). 

  7. Fill each with the cooked corned beef. Gather the ends to seal. 

  8. Roll each into the breadcrumbs and place in a parchment-lined baking sheet (seam side down). 

  9. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise again for 30 minutes. 

  10. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 F.

  11. Bake for 15 minutes.

  12. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before enjoying. 

Recipe Notes

I used canned corned beef. I sautéed the corned beef in oil and onions. I also drained the excess oil. I did not measure this coz I ate the rest of the sautéed corned beef with rice. 😀 You will need about a tbsp for each Pandesal bun.  

This recipe makes 10-12 Pandesal buns and these are good until the next day. If planning to keep more than 1 day, keep in an air-tight container.

Not all measuring cups/spoons are created equal. Please take time to check my notes regarding the measurements I use.
