Pan de Sal (
Spanish:
pan de sal salt bread) is a rounded bread usually eaten by
Filipinos.
[1] It is a
bread made of flour, eggs, yeast, sugar, and salt. It is a very common food in the Philippines. Pan de sal is the classic Filipino bread. It is actually not Spanish
in origin, but Portuguese. Pan de sal means salted bread but it is
actually sweeter than it is salty. It is traditionally served as a
breakfast roll — buttered and dipped in coffee — but it has made its way
to the dinner table. Savory pan de sal sandwiches always hit the
spot:
corned beef,
fried spam, fried egg,
fried tocino, or
mini-pizza with sweet spaghetti sauce. Or it can be a sweet treat: butter with sugar,
sweetened condensed milk, peanut butter with jelly, strawberry jam,
coconut jam,
ube jam, or
homemade ice cream sandwiches. The pairing possibilities are endless. Taste the Filipino pan de sal courtesy of our generous sponsors - COMCAST and the Filipino American Network (FAN).
