    Pan De Regla

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Pan De Regla, although it doesn’t sound too pleasing, actually tastes really good. In the Philippines, regla pertains to menstruation. And that is how this delicacy kind of looks like - similar to a used napkin that is rolled after - hence its name.

    Even I had questions when I first heard of its name. Like isn’t it weird to name a food after something that people try to avoid? I guess it has something to do with Filipinos and their playful minds. Thankfully, it is not the only name that we can call this Pinoy bread. It can also be called kalihim or ligaya. Those names just show how exciting this pastry is. Filipinos even had fun giving it different names.

    When I was younger, I remember buying this bread a lot from our local panaderia (Filipino bakery). It’s unique appearance really got me interested to try it for the first time. The moment I first tried it, I immediately liked it. After that, who knows how many times I started to eat it again. My sweet tooth was responsible for my regular cravings of the bread. But there were no regrets since it is really tasty.

    One day, I suddenly thought to myself that I want to eat the delicacy again. This time, however, I planned to make it by myself from scratch. That is how I came up with this recipe. How about trying this too? My kids really loved it, so I decided to make it more often.

    Tips How to Make Pan De Regla

    • Use a blender or food processor to easily mix the ingredients for the filling.

    Go on, try this pan de regla recipe today. You can adjust the ingredients depending on your preference. So you can try different fillings and see if you will like the original red-colored one. Enjoy cooking!
