Obama pan de sal - a gift to historic president

the only bread named after Barack Obama. Pan de sal is a national Filipino bread which is deliciously served hot from the oven. Barack Obama pan de sal made its debut last January 20 the same day of the historic presidential inauguration. It was reinvented by Filipino baker Wilma Fernandez Ventura the owner of "The Original Richard's Bakery", located in San Diego, California The Obama pandesal is made from 100% wheat flour and is available in two variations: the plain bite sized rolls and the buns stuffed with; chicken adobo, sweet peas, cream cheese, raisin and carrots.

Obama's pan de sal was unintentionally concocted, the bread rolls was left in oven ten minutes after the timer is off and the bread was roasted in tanned to brown, lean, compact...... a rightfully baked and healthy. In fact, the perfect toast. then Wilma exclaimed "it's Obama's pan de sal." To achieve the brown color of the bread she changed her use of regular flour to wheat flour, making it a really healthy bread that can stand on its own.

Obama's pan del sal is her gift to to historic president. As an avid follower of Obama ever since he was still a senatorial bet for president, Wilma was already thinking of how she could commemorate his rise in power as the first African-American president. But no idea yet coming her mind, until such oblivion incident of the bread in oven came about. Then at last, the Obama pan de sal was concocted.

This is one good thing happens sometimes out of serendipity. Then after holding her pan de sal debut, where she gave away dozens of boxes to her visitors and special guests, the Obama pan de sal became a boom.

I highly recommend visiting The Original Richard's Bakery (exact address is 3400 E. Eighth St., National City, CA. 91950) not alone for the Obama Pandesal but for other kakanins like bibingka, puto, kuchinta, pandesal, and many more. I went there with my family and we got something else. Guess what? The bakery is like Costco . . . the owner gives you a taste of the top bakery products. What a bakery!
