Servings 16 pieces

Ingredients
  

For the rosemary garlic oil (optional):

  • 57 grams butter
  • 2 tbsps garlic , minced
  • 1 tsp rosemary

For the corned beef:

  • 1 12 oz corned beef, (340 grams)
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp garlic , minced
  • 1 small onion, sliced thinly

For the pandesal:

  • 240 ml milk, (1 cup)
  • 2 eggs, large
  • 480 grams all purpose flour, (4 cups)
  • 83 grams sugar, (3/8 cup)
  • 35 grams milk powder, (1/4 cup)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 tsps instant yeast
  • 57 grams 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
 

For the rosemary garlic oil

  • In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter.
  • Add the garlic and rosemary.
  • Saute the garlic and rosemary until the garlic has browned lightly.
  • Remove from heat. Leaving some small amount, transfer the rest to a bowl. Set aside.

For the corned beef:

  • Using the same pan as the rosemary garlic oil, add the sliced onions and saute until slightly translucent.
  • Add the garlic and saute until the onions are translucent.
  • Add the corned beef. With a spatula, lightly press on the corned beef to break it apart.
  • Cook until oil from the corned beef is a starting to dry out.
  • Season with sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

For the pandesal:

  • Combine milk and eggs in a bowl.
  • Mix in flour, sugar, milk powder, salt, and yeast. After kneading for a few minutes, just enough for the dough to come together, add the butter in batches.
  • Knead until dough is soft and elastic (until windowpane stage). Form into a ball and transfer to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest for 1-2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Transfer the dough onto a well floured surface. Punch down the dough to slightly deflate.
  • Forming the pandesal: There are 2 ways to shape the pandesal:

Method 1:

  • Roll the dough to form a rectangle. Starting from the long side nearest you, roll into a log and pinch ends to seal. Cut into 16 pieces, slicing diagonally. Flatten each piece and add about 1 tbsp of corned beef. Seal the edges and roll each piece in bread crumbs.

Method 2:

  • Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Flatten each piece and add about 1 tbsp of corned beef. Seal the edges and roll each piece in bread crumbs.
  • Cover the pandesal and rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F/180C.
  • Bake the pandesal for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Brush the rosemary garlic oil on top of the pandesal and serve while warm.

Notes

  • Corned Beef Preferences: Everyone has their own way of preparing corned beef, and that’s totally fine! Personally, I like mine with a good amount of sugar to balance the saltiness—but you do you!
  • Flavor Boost: Whatever your preference, don’t skip frying the corned beef in a bit of that rosemary garlic oil—it takes the flavor up a notch!
