We would still be baking bread for special occasions, of course, but the problem with not getting even slices is that a homemade bread will never last as long as a store bought one. In fact, it was precisely because I could never get the slices as even as the ones that come out of supermarket bag that I almost gave up on regularly baking bread. That is why I assume you have run into many of the problems associated with baking your own bread. While it is true that most people sneer at the very thought of spending money to buy a bread slicer, which is to say a guide that will allow you to use your own knife to slice bread into even slices, you are the type of people who are checking out a website dedicated to bread.

Cut the log sideways into smaller pieces. Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 equal parts using a knife or dough slicer. Depending on how warm it is, could take 30 minutes to an hour. Form the dough into a ball and place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place it in a warm area and let it rise until it doubled in size.

Make sure that the liquids are only mildly warm and not hot. Remove from microwave and add the egg and beat several times until well blended. Warm liquids in the microwave until warm. In a smaller bowl, combine sugar, salt, milk and margarine or butter. In a big bowl, mix together flour and yeast.

You can also use bread flour if you are looking for a chewier pandesal. The dough should feel pliable or easy to knead and not too sticky.

This one requires more liquid so I adjusted the recipe here. The flour I usually use in the Philippines is similar to the ones in the US, Gold Medal APF.

The recipe (way) below is the original recipe I used for that. The flour that I used in Germany is finer or "softer" which tends to absorb lesser liquid.
