Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 3 tbsp natural sugar (natural sweetener)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup ube (purple yam) puree
  • ¾ cup plant-based milk (lukewarm)
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ube Puree: Steam or boil fresh ube until tender, then mash smoothly or blend until moist and soft enough to blend easily into the dough.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, natural sugar, salt, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined to help the yeast activate consistently.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the ube puree, lukewarm plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
  4. Form the Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mix. Use your hands or a dough hook on low speed to combine thoroughly. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough becomes elastic, smooth, and slightly sticky yet manageable.
  5. First Rise: Cover the dough with a clean cloth and place in a warm spot. Allow it to rise for 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size to ensure lightness and fluffiness.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Gently punch down the dough to release air, then divide into equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball and place on a greased baking tray, spaced apart.
  7. Second Rise: Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed and ready for baking.
  8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 18 to 22 minutes until the tops are golden purple and sound hollow when tapped.
  9. Cool and Enjoy: Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh ube for the brightest color and authentic flavor.
  • Ensure plant-based milk is lukewarm to activate yeast properly.
  • Add flour gradually to keep dough soft and pliable.
  • Allow sufficient rising time for light, fluffy rolls.
  • Bake immediately after the second rise for best texture.
  • Follow natural gelling agent instructions to maintain softness without affecting flavor.
