Ingredients You’ll Need:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, warmed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 cup ube puree (or purple yam, cooked and mashed)
Extra melted butter for brushing

Let’s Get Cooking!

First, in a bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let that sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s frothy. That means the yeast is alive and kicking!
In another bowl, combine the flour and salt. Once the yeast mix is ready, add it to the flour along with melted butter, egg, and ube puree. Mix it all together until a dough forms.
Transfer your dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Put your dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size—about 1 to 2 hours!
After it’s risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle. Now, let’s get that swirl! Roll it tightly, pinch the seams to seal, and place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you wait.
Once risen, brush the top with some melted butter and toss it in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
Let it cool for a bit and slice it up. Serve it warm and enjoy every bite of this delicious Ube Swirl Bread!

This Ube Swirl Bread is sure to impress everyone, and you’ll be left with a full heart and a happy belly. Enjoy and share the love!
