The dawn bread of Filipino bakeries: a slightly sweet roll with a soft inside, rolled in breadcrumbs. Eaten fresh in the mornings with coffee or hot chocolate, filled with butter, cheese or sausage.
Add the lukewarm milk and egg, and knead for 5 minutes, then add the soft butter, and knead for a further 8-10 minutes, until you get a smooth, elastic dough.
Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Roll the dough into two long logs, about 4 cm in diameter, and cut each into 8 equal pieces.
Roll the cut sides of the pieces in breadcrumbs, and place on a baking paper-lined tray, spaced slightly apart.
Cover and leave to rise for a further 40 minutes.
Bake in a 180 °C preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until pale golden. Serve warm, with butter or cheese.

Tips
Freezable; a few minutes in the oven makes it taste fresh again.
If you want it filled, you can also stuff it with ube jam or a cube of cheese when shaping.
