Ingredients
- 8 pieces pandesal rolls
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- Using a serrated knife, trim off the top and bottom of the pandesal very thinly and cut each roll into halves, about ½-inch thick.
- In a small bowl, combine butter and sugar and stir until smooth.
- Spread the butter-sugar mixture thinly on each side of the bread slices.
- Arrange the coated bread on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake in a 200 F oven for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or until dry and crunchy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Notes
- As the twice-baked method is meant to draw out moisture, it's best to start with day-old bread that is already beginning to dry out.
- Cut the rolls into about ½-inch thick; the thicker the slices, the longer the bake time.
- For a nice sugary crust, use softened and not melted butter.
- Although you can use regular pandesal, try to use the Baliwag variety if you can. They have a deep yellow color and sweet, rich flavor that work really well in this recipe.
