Simple Ube Ensaymada Recipe

Starting with my Fluffy white bread recipe I've decided to see what else I can do with it. So far it's a lot! It makes great ensaymada. If you don't have or want to use Ube, feel free to leave that part out.

Simple Ube Ensaymada Recipe!

I keep finding more uses for the bread dough in my Fluffy White Sandwich Bread recipe. And my latest concoction is a Filipino Ube Ensaymada recipe!

The Filipino ensaymada bread is a great treat for every household. You’ll find it is a staple in every Filipino bakery you walk into. This ensaymada recipe includes ube, but if you don’t have leftovers from your ube bread, or just don’t want to use it, you can easily leave it out if you want plain ensaymada. That makes it easier to top with cheese, or peanut butter like Lolo! But really, who doesn’t love some purple ube ensaymada? And while they may look like cinnamon rolls, they are quite different. Perhaps more akin to a sweet, savory dinner roll.

Now considering how easy to make the bread dough is from the previous recipe, this simple ube ensaymada recipe is going to make your life so much simpler and infinitely more delicious.
