How to Make Ube Milk Bread: The Best Tangzhong Method Recipe

Learn how to make soft and fluffy Ube Milk Bread using the Tangzhong method for that perfect texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup ube halaya
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the ube halaya, yeast mixture, butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a roll.
  7. Place the rolls in a greased baking pan and cover. Let them rise again for 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Cool before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra flavor boost, add a splash of vanilla extract to the dough.
  • Keep the dough covered to prevent it from drying out during the rising process.
