Notes

If you don’t have ube halaya, you can use sweet potato jam or just rely on ube extract for flavor.
Brush finished bread with melted butter for extra softness.
Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days or freeze for longer storage.
These breads pair beautifully with cream cheese, butter, or coconut jam.
