If you love pandesal, you’ll fall in love with this purple yam version. Super soft and fluffy with an intense purple yam flavor and savory cheese filling, every bite is bread heaven. < Back Ube Cheese/Halaya Pandesal Prep Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Serves: 16 Level: Intermediate About the Recipe Ube Cheese/Halaya Pandesal is a different twist on our classic Filipino dinner roll. Ultra-soft and delicious with an intense purple-yam flavor and melty cheese filling, they’re great for breakfast or anytime snack. Ingredients 3 cups bread flour 1 cup plain flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast ¼ cup ube powder 2 eggs 1 can 410g lukewarm evaporated milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tbsp concentrated ube flavoring cheddar cheese for filling ube halaya for filling 1/2 cup bread crumbs for coating Preparation In a mixing bowl, combine the plain and bread flour. Add the oil, eggs, sugar, warm milk, purple yam, ube flavoring, yeast and salt. With a wooden spoon,or whisk, stir well after each addition until the dough forms a shaggy mass. Add just enough of the remaining flour (you might not use the whole 1/2 cup) to manage stickiness and stir until the dough comes together in the center of the bowl. Lightly grease a kneading board with the oil, and turn the dough out. Lightly grease hands with oil and knead the dough, pushing the dough down and away from your body using the heels of your palms, until it's smooth and elastic but still somewhat tacky. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until double in size. Gently deflate the risen dough and form into a log. Cut the log vertically in half and then cut each half into smaller portions. Using the palm of hands, flatten each dough portion and place a piece of cheese or ube halaya filling in the center. Fold the dough around the cheese and form it into a smooth ball, tucking the ends under to seal. Roll the dough in bread crumbs and arrange in a single layer at about 1/2 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for about 30 to 60 minutes or until puffy and have doubled in size. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for about 20-23 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to slightly cool as the filling will be hot!

What makes a good brownie? Soft in the centre and have a crust on top. Find out for yourself if this brownie recipe is every chocoholics dream come true. < Back Chocolate Brownies Prep Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Serves: 16 Level: Beginner About the Recipe Indulge in the heavenly deliciousness of chocolate brownies! These rich, fudgy squares of chocolate goodness are a favorite of many, with their dense and moist texture and deep chocolate flavor. Whether you're a chocolate lover or simply want to satisfy your sweet tooth, chocolate brownies are the perfect treat. Whether you enjoy them plain, with nuts, or topped with frosting, chocolate brownies are a classic dessert that never goes out of style. So grab a glass of milk and get ready to savor every bite of this delectable treat! Ingredients 185g unsalted butter 185g dark chocolate 85g plain flour 40g cocoa powder 50g white chocolate 50g milk chocolate 3 large eggs 275g golden caster sugar Preparation STEP 1 Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. STEP 2 Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them. STEP 3 Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature. STEP 4 While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. STEP 5 Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps. STEP 6 Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board. STEP 7 Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you’re there. STEP 8 Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like. STEP 9 Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly. STEP 10 Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don’t want to overdo this mixing. STEP 11 Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout. STEP 12 Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it. STEP 13 Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it’s not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven. STEP 14 Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you’re using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you’re using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles. STEP 15 They’ll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.
