Putok or star bread is a dense bread roll from the Philippines made with all-purpose flour, milk, and salt. It is typically dusted with coarse white sugar. It is a variant of pan de monja (monáy) distinguished primarily by the crown or star-shaped top of the bread resulting from a cross-shaped cut on the dough prior to baking. The name literally means "explosion" or "fissure" in Tagalog.{{cite web |title=Monay, Pinagong, and Putok |url=http://oggi-icandothat.blogspot.com/2010/04/monay-pinagong-and-putok.html |website=oggi |date=April 28, 2010 |access-date=April 9, 2019}}{{cite web |last1=Panuelos|first1=Clarisse|title=One of my favourite Filipino breads in 3 forms |url=http://www.thetummytrain.com/2014/02/04/one-of-my-favourite-filipino-breads-in-3-forms/ |website=The Tummy Train |date=February 4, 2014 |access-date=April 9, 2019}}{{cite web |last1=Estrella |first1=Serna |title=The Secret History Behind Pan de Regla and Other Panaderia Eats |url=http://www.pepper.ph/panaderia-eats/ |website=Pepper.ph |access-date=April 9, 2019 |archive-date=April 9, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210409180623/https://pepper.ph/panaderia-eats/ |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |title=Star Bread (Putok) |url=https://www.mamasguiderecipes.com/2019/01/15/star-bread-putok/ |website=Mama's Guide Recipes |date=January 15, 2019 |access-date=April 9, 2019}}
