Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup ube halaya (divided)
- 1 cup grated coconut (fresh or unsweetened desiccated)
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the yeast mixture: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and allow it to sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Make the dough: Add flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, eggs, and 1/2 cup ube halaya. Mix until well combined, then knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.
- First rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling: Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread remaining ube halaya, sprinkle grated coconut and sugar.
- Shape and second rise: Roll up the dough, slice into rolls, arrange in a baking dish, cover, and let rise until puffed, about 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush rolls with coconut cream, sprinkle sugar, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Garnish with shredded coconut.
Notes
- Ube Halaya Tip: Ensure the ube halaya is smooth and spreadable to evenly cover the dough.
- Yeast Activation: Make sure the milk is warm but not hot to touch, to avoid killing the yeast.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
