Best tasting pan de Sal in the US hands down

We like these better than the smaller pandesal. They are bigger, but you get fewer and they cost a lot more.

Very fresh and soft. Love Pan de Sal
Soooooo gooood!
This pan de sal bread mix was my first ever attempt to make and bake it home, and now I know that freshly baked pan de sal straight from the oven is wayyy better than store-bought ones in a plastic bag at room temperature!! I have been missing out. I definitely will buy this product again in the future and also give them away as holiday gifts!
