Señorita Bread Recipe (Filipino Spanish Bread)

March 18, 2021

Señorita Bread Recipe (Filipino Spanish Bread)

This easy Senorita Bread recipe makes 15 scrumptious Filipino Spanish Bread that tastes just like the one they make at Starbread Bakery! It uses basic pantry ingredients, and takes 20 minutes to bake! Vegetarian.

If you ask me, one of the best food spots to go to in South Sacramento has to be Starbread Bakery. And the best thing to get there? Their famous Senorita Bread!

So because I live in Lawrence, KS, and buying this on the daily is a bit out of reach for me (though I totally would), I’ve settled on the next best thing: homemade Señorita Bread!

What is Señorita Bread?

In the Philippines, Senorita Bread is known as Spanish bread. It’s a popular afternoon snack that, here, was made popular by Starbread Bakery.

A good description of Senorita Bread is this: perfectly delicate rolls filled with a decadent combo of melted butter, sugar, and breadcrumbs. It’s almost like the Filipino version of Cinnabon without the frosting!

What Do You Need to Make Señorita Bread?

For the Dough:

  • 3/4 cup lukewarm milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄4 cup sugar
  • 11⁄2 teaspoon instant yeast (I used this one)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1⁄4 cup breadcrumbs

For the Filling:

  • 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • pinch of salt

How to Make Señorita Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 300 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet (LOVE these!) Set aside.

Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Slowly whisk in milk, 3 tbsp of the butter, and egg. Mix well. The dough should feel sticky and not dry. Knead until the dough is soft and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  2. Cover the bowl with a towel or cling wrap and let it rest in a warm spot for 45 minutes, or until the dough has doubled.

Make the Filling

  1. While the dough is resting, add butter into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once hot, add in the flour, breadcrumbs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon together. Cook until it thickens into a paste.

Assemble the Senorita Bread

  • Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Then using a knife, divide the dough into 15 equal parts. Roll each dough into a triangle shape.
  • Spread the sugar filling on each piece of the dough. Starting from the long edge of the triangle, roll each piece inwards. Brush on the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter, then roll in 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.

Bake the Senorita Bread

  • Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes.
  • Serve warm, or allow the Señorita Bread to cool before transferring to an airtight container. ENJOY!
