Ube Bread Roll

If you're an asian, you know that ube (purple yam) is so good! Whenever there's ube jam, cakes or ice cream, we instantly get excited! Especially when it's Good Shepherd Ube Jam! (The best of the best. Solid!) or much more when you get a good heaping spoon of ube in your Halo-halo! Yum!

I live near Tagaytay, so I always buy a kilo or more of Ube whenever I'm at Tagaytay Mahogany Market and while thinking what to do with ube, I was eating a really good cinnamon roll.

Hence, the ube bread roll. Combining the soft, sweet bread with a good ube jam filling. Sounds good right? It is! The bread is soft and moist inside.

Hope you love the recipe, guys!
