Tasty Filipino Pandesal is a type of bread that is popular in the Philippines and is often served for breakfast or as a snack. It's a simple yet delicious bread that is soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet. Pandesal is commonly made with flour, sugar, yeast, and breadcrumbs, which gives it a crispy and slightly crunchy texture. The bread has a golden-brown color and is best served warm with some butter or jam. It's a versatile bread that can be eaten on its own or paired with other dishes, such as Filipino-style eggs or sausages.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm water, vegetable oil, eggs, salt, and sugar.
2.	Slowly add the flour and yeast to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined to form a dough.
3.	Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
4.	Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
5.	After the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 24 small balls.
6.	Roll each ball in breadcrumbs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7.	Cover the rolls and let them rise for 20-30 minutes.
8.	Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
