Ube Coconut Rolls Recipe


Ube Coconut Rolls Recipe


Purple yams, officially referred to as ubes, are a common ingredient in Filipino kitchens. These yams are actually violet in color and are used in all different types of recipes. They have even been known to make a pleasant looking violet-colored cake.(Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1224916)

Hello friends and readers of this blog-
I will be spending a week with my family and won't be back until 20th this month, Before I head out, I leave you this Ube Coconut Rolls Recipe to be enjoyed for the rest of the week. Keep visiting my blog and I'll see you when I get back.. :)

Honestly, I don't know what this recipe called. This is just one of those "AHA! Moment" in the kitchen. Sometimes I just love to explore the flavor and mix ingredients and see the result myself. This is just a combinations of my two favorite ingredients, Ube/ Purple Yam and Coconut Flakes. The sweet idea about this recipe is,  basically same process of making spanish rollls the only different is the filling and I used coconut flakes instead of breadcrumbs for coating.
The texture of the bread is soft and you have this sweet ube filling inside and toasty coconut flakes outside.. I would say perfect rolls anytime of the day.. YUMMO!  I can't wait to share this recipe with you guys.. C'mon lets start baking :)



Tips:
- I used store bought Ube yam, you can totally make it from scratch as well.
-Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.


Filling:
1 1/2 cup Ube/purple yam- I used store bought
Coating/ Sprinkles:
4 teaspoon brown sugar- taste according to your preference
1 cup Coconut flakes
  -In food processor combine the coconut flakes and the sugar and pulse 3-5 times until


Dough:                           
3 1/2 cups flour                        
2/3 cup- Lukewarm water                 
2/3 cup- Lukewarm milk                   
1/2 cup sugar                                  
1/4 cup butter melted                          
1 pack yeast                                          
1 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:

1.) Mix the flour, sugar, salt and yeast on the big bowl ans set aside.
2.) Pour the lukewarm water and lukewarm milk into the dry ingredients and mix it well.
3.) Pour the melted butter into the mixture, mix well. Knead the dough until the dough is smooth and elastic bout 15 minutes or so.
4.) Let it rise for 1-2 hours
5.) Divide the dough to 18-22 pieces. Flatten it out, spread the Ube/purple yam and sprinkles with little coconut flakes mixture , fold the dough and roll into a coconut flakes and sugar mixture.
6.) After rolling and coating, covered it with plastic wrap and let it rise for 30-45 minutes.
7.) Bake on 350 preheated oven for about 15-18minutes, until its golden brown:) ENJOY!

  2. It looks so delicious! Interestingly, we have a fruit in West Africa called Ube. It is also purple in color but very small in size. It is amazing how names travel across the globe over generations. ;-)

    1. Ube is root crop in the Philippines, and used various ways, but I've seen it mostly on bread and ginataan. The purple color makes it more appetizing to eat. Its good to know about ube fruit..:)
