Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp instant dry yeast
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- ½ cup ube halaya
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Filling
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

- You may use an electric stand mixer and mix it for 6 minutes or manually knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. If you feel that the dough is still very stick, you may add more flour but not too much.
- Transfer the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour to 1 ½ hour or until the size is doubled. Once ready, gently "punch" it in the middle to release any air bubbles.
- Divide into 24 equal parts, shape into an inverted triangle and spread the filling in the middle. Roll it tightly from top to bottom, tuck and seal.
- Roll each peice ni a breadcrumbs and arrange it in a baking tray with parchment paper. Cover with tea towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes until double in size.
- Preheat the oven at 180°C or 356°F. Once the dough is ready, bake for at least 10-15 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your freshly-baked Ube Spanish Bread.
