Airfry Sakura Pandesal

Pandesal is a famous go to bread paired with coffee as breakfast in the Philippines. I always crave about this bread especially being living overseas and can't buy on regular bakeshop. So< I bake myself and put a twist into it. Since Spring had just started, I incorporated powderized Sakura flowers into the pandesal mixture. The result was bread unmistakably from home but a hint of sakura.

Notes

Sakura powder is optional. You can just remove it from the recipe and this will become a regular pandesal recipe.
 
This pandesal bread is chewy yet soft due to equal ratio of flour. If you want it to be more soft used 3 cups of all purpose flour.
