Ingredients

• 2.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 2.5 teaspoons instant yeast
• 0.25 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. The dough will be a bit sticky, that's normal.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Lightly dust your hands with gluten-free flour and divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and coat with gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow for expansion.

Step 8

Cover again with the kitchen towel and let the dough balls rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pandesal are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 11

Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
