Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ube powder
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon purple food coloring
- Breadcrumbs, for coating
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
- Add the softened butter, ube powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and purple food coloring to the bowl. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball shape.
- Roll each dough ball in breadcrumbs, coating it evenly. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
- Cover the baking sheet with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the ube pandesal in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them while warm!
