Combine 1/4 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast in a bowl; mix well with a rubber spatula.

Add 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 egg to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until pliable and easy to knead.

Form the dough into a ball and lightly coat with oil.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal parts; roll each into a log.

Cut each log into smaller pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Roll each ball in 1/2 cup bread crumbs to coat completely.

Arrange the balls on a baking sheet with gaps in between and let rise for another 15-20 minutes until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 185°C (350°F).

Bake the pandesal for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
