Pan De Manila

Pandesal cannot get any more Pinoy than it already is. It has been part of each Filipino household through the years.
And when Pan de Manila and Pan de Pugon boasted of bringing back the traditional way of baking pandesal in a wood-fired brick oven, just the way our grandparents did, I was excited to try it.


Straight out of the bag or toasted lightly in the oven for a crispier brown-ier crust, the inside remains fluffy and tasty.


.... with cheese.... with jam.... with peanut butter.... with corned beef.... with margarine... with condensed milk.... I can go on and on and on with the countless ways of enjoying pandesal.

Pan de Manila also has other baked goods. I was able to buy a couple more from the shelf.... their ensaymada (left) and their cheese pandesal (right, cheddar cheese topped and baked in each bun).


The Herb Cream Cheese is a yummy treat. It has real garlic and parsley bits, perfect for topping.
