The Pan de Sal is a Filipino bread bun that has a crusty exterior but inside it is soft and billowy.
Pan de Sal translates to ‘bread of salt’ and is found in all Filipino bakeries. The bread bun tastes more sweet than salty, though. In the Philippines, we had freshly baked pan de sal for breakfast daily. I can still see the brown bag on our dining table, with the corners tucked tight, the bread inside warm to the touch, fragrant and fresh from the oven. This cheese and steak sandwich was made from roast beef slices, leftovers from a larger roast cooked by my son, Tim. It’s what we make with leftovers that makes a difference and adds a new appeal to any dish. This is an Asianinamericamag recipe by my son, Tim Quirino. The recipe below serves 2.
