Biscocho is the perfect use for day-old pandesal or sliced bread! Crisp and buttery, this twice-baked bread is delicious for breakfast or as a midday snack with coffee or tea<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since I don't know of any Filipino bakery here in our part of Central Texas, I bought a good supply of our favorite goodies such as polvoron<\/a>, mamon<\/a>, and pandesal<\/a> from Goldilocks during our recent trip to Southern California to bring back home with us. I might have gone a little overboard with stocking up because even after days of eating pandesal filled with chicken salad<\/a> or cheese pineapple<\/a> for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all the snacks in between, I was still left with a couple of bags on the counter needing to be consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do we do with day-old bread? Make crunchy, gooey cheese dog bread rolls<\/a> or crispy, buttery Biscocho!<\/p>\n\n\n

What is Biscocho<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biscocho or biskotso refers to various Filipino oven-baked goods cooked twice until dry and crunchy.\u00a0 Bread such as monay<\/a>, ensaymada, and pandesal are coated with either a sweet mixture of sugar and butter or a savory spread of garlic and butter and are then baked a second time to draw out excess moisture, thus prolonging shelf life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These crisp, buttery \"biscuits\" are traditionally served as a midday snack or after-dinner dessert and are usually enjoyed with coffee or tea.<\/p>\n\n\n
