Pandesal’s origins come from Spain. It is a bread made with yeast, flour, eggs, and salt. It is usually served for breakfast with jam, cheese, peanut butter, or sausages. It is a terrific addition to a coffee or hot chocolate. Every Filipino has grown up with this special bread. Sometimes, it is sold early in the morning by local kids shouting “Pandesal’.” At other times, Filipinos will go to the local bakery. No matter how far away it is found, Filipinos will go there to fulfill their breakfast needs.
