hey guys, here is finally my ube cheese pandesal recipe. i grew up with eating this sweet filipino bread called pandesal, it is a little similar to a dinner rolls, however this bread is not serve during dinner, it usually serve at breakfast time. people will wake up early in the morning and rush into the bakery and buy this bread, we pair this bread with coffee! yup! :) but, people started creating a lot of different versions of pandesal. before i came here in the US, there was one bakery close to where i used to live and started making moringa pandesal, and i honestly became obsessed with that pandesal. recently i've seen people making ube cheese pandesal, i would probably not call this a pandesal, because the traditional pandesal doesn't have filling. but this ube pandesal, they actually put cheese filling in it. i find it very interesting so then i figured, why not be one of the cult? :P everyone i know love this bread. so i hope you all are going to love this, too!

ingredients:

• 3/4 cup warm milk
• 1 1/2 tsp yeast (1 packet)
• 2 2/3 cups flour
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2/3 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp ube flavor
• 1/4 stick butter
• some cheese

directions:

1. pre-heat the oven to 350F
2. in a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast and mix together. then, set aside. let it rise for about 5 to 8 minutes
3. into a different bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt
4. then create a hole in the middle of the flour mixture
5. add the yeast mixture into the flour, followed by the egg, butter and ube flavor then start kneading
6. keep kneading until the dough will become stretchy and smooth. you can use a stand mixer if you have one. it will be a lot easier
7. form the dough into a bowl and let the dough rise until doubled in size. for about an hour or so
8. once the dough has doubled it's size. divide the dough into small portions. i was able to make a total of 8 pcs
9. flatten the dough using a rolling pin, then scoop a teaspoon of cheese into the middle and secure very well to prevent the cheese from bursting. like what happened to mine
10. do the same to the rest of the remaining dough.
11. once done. let the bread rise again for another 15 minutes
12. after 15 minutes, sprinkle the top of the bread with bread crumbs
13. bake for 18 to 20 minutes
14. and it's ready to serve!

there you go! i wish you good luck for making this bread. it is absolutely worth to try! until next time! <3

love you bunches!

super soft and fluffy!!

hi riders,

in today's episode, i will be showing you on how to make these super soft, fluffy and delicious japanese milk bread. this recipe is definitely not new to anyone, you can find this recipe everywhere in the internet. i made it the other day and my friends totally loved it. so i thought, why not share it with all my riders out there?! so let's go ahead and check all the ingredients! :)

list of ingredients:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoon instant dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 cup warm milk
• 4 tablespoon (1/4 stick butter)
• 2/3 teaspoon salt

directions: (you can also watch the video for instructions - youtube video will be up soon)

1. combine milk and instant dry yeast and set aside.
2. mix the flour, sugar and the milk mixture until it forms like a dough.
3. then, add the salt and keep kneading. you can use stand mixer if you need to, but i am just using my hand to create the dough.
4. once it's all mixed, stretch the dough out and add the butter in the center of the dough. you want to make sure the butter is soft. this could get messy but it's okay, just keep kneading until the dough becomes soft and stretchy, the dough should not stick into your hand, if this happens add a little more flour.
5. put the dough into a bowl and let it rise for an hour or so or until it doubled in size. (tip: grease the bowl so that the dough wont stick)
6. once the dough is ready, cut into small sizes, i was able to make 12 pieces.
7. roll the dough into a ball.
8. then let it rise again for another 30 mins
9. pre-heat the oven to 350F
10. bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
11. and it DONE!

let me know if you will give this a try! :)
