Experience the joy of baking with Ube Milk Bread, a delightful fusion of soft texture and sweet, earthy flavors. Includes complete cooking instructions and detailed nutritional breakdown.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk, warm
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the ube halaya, softened butter, and egg.
  3. Step 3: Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.
  4. Step 4: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
  5. Step 5: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Step 6: After rising, punch down the dough gently to release air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller pieces to create rolls. Place in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
  7. Step 7: Cover again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffed up. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Step 8: Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store your Ube Milk Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate it for longer shelf life.
  • To enjoy your bread warm and fluffy again, simply reheat slices in the toaster or wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve your Ube Milk Bread with a spread of butter or cream cheese for a delightful breakfast treat, or use it to make delicious French toast topped with fresh fruits.
  • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients or experimenting with different ratios of ube halaya for a more vibrant color and taste!
