A sweet and slightly dense bread topped with granulated sugar. Pack of 3. Made in United Kingdom. Filipino star bread, also known as "putok" or "pinagong" in Tagalog, is a popular pastry in the Philippines. It is a sweet bread that is typically shaped like a star, with a soft and fluffy interior and a crispy exterior. The origin of Filipino star bread is not clear, but it is believed to have been influenced by Spanish colonialism in the Philippines. The pastry may have originated from the Spanish ensaimada, a type of sweet bread that is coiled into a spiral shape. To make Filipino star bread, a dough is typically made with flour, yeast, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and butter. The dough is then divided into small portions and shaped into a star shape before being left to rise. Once the dough has risen, it is brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with sugar before being baked in the oven.
