Coco Pandesal

Coco Pan is a special type of pandesal where the highest quality ingredients are used and is always freshly baked. It is made by substituting coconut flour with wheat flour at 10% level. Coconut flour refers to the screened food-grade product obtained after drying, expelling and/or extracting most of the oil or milk from sound coconut meat or residue.

Like most breads, this incorporates the use of coconut flour as its base. With its hygroscopic property, more water is needed. This is most beneficial to bakers as it can increase the dough yield up to 10%.

Coco pandesal contains significant amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fiber. Because of this, Coco Pan is used as a food supplement for feeding programs.

Advantages of using coconut flour in Pandesal:

1. Coconut flour can increase the yield of baked products by up to 22%
2. More compact and softer texture that is maintained up to 3-4 days than regular pandesal
3. Sweeter flavor
