Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup moringa leaves washed and separated from stem, aka malunggay leaves
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium egg room temperature, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 1 cup water lukewarm
  • 1 ½ teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs fine

Instructions

  1. Wash the malunggay leaves the pat them dry before chopping them coarsely.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and salt. Add chopped malunggay leaves and mix until well incorporated.
  3. Make a well in the center and add egg, oil, water, and instant dry yeast. Mix until well blended.
  4. Lightly sprinkle a flat and clean surface with flour until fully covered. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Form dough into a ball then lightly oil the dough ball. Place in a clean and dry bowl. Cover with a plastic wrap and let it rise until the dough ball doubles in size, about 30 mins to 1 hour, depending on how warm it is.
  6. Lightly punch the dough to release gas bubbles. Place dough on a flat surface and divide into 2. Roll them into logs then divide each log into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into small balls. Set aside.
  7. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs onto a flat and clean surface. Roll the dough balls in the breadcrumbs until fully covered and then arrange them on a baking sheet. With a clean kitchen towel, cover the dough balls and let them rise until their size doubles about 20-30 mins.
  8. Bake in a preheated 185°C/365°F oven for 15 mins or until the sides are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Notes

  • If using active dry yeast, the water temperature should only range from 105°F/40°C to 110°F/43°C. Do not use hot water as it may kill the yeast. To proof the yeast: Take 1 cup of the lukewarm warm and 1 tsp sugar from the recipe. Add the yeast to it and let it bloom for 5 minutes before adding it to the flour mixture
  • To know if you've kneaded the dough adequately is by doing the "windowpane test". Take a piece of the dough and stretch it into a thin square film with your fingers. The dough must be thin enough to let the light pass through without breaking.
