Ube Coconut Milk Bread - Milk Bread - Sweet Purple Yam Milk Buns - Banh Mi Ngot Khoai Tim

[@AimeesCooking]

Please see the description box for the full recipe, helpful tips, and details. Some have asked about how to achieve the color like mine. It really depends on how dark the purple sweet potatoes you bought. The ones I used in the video has a very dark rich purple. If yours are lighter, add some Ube extract to enhance the color. The butterfly brand is good. 🙂

Where can I see the full decription

[@AimeesCooking]

Either way is fine.

[@PheebSue]

Aimee's Cooking my oven doesn’t have the degree like yours, what should I do ? It’s only 230

[@AimeesCooking]

230 F? That’s the highest?

[@PheebSue]

That’s right. What should I do lol

[@teresitapasalo4795]

Wow! This recipe is good for serving classy ube bread. This recipe is also very helpful to listen to at nite. The narrator is a very effective sleep therapist.

[@thanhluong2861]

I tried these a few months ago but i just thought i'd drop by again and say that these were actually really good. It was a big hit in my family. Thank you Aimee

[@AimeesCooking]

Yay!! You’re welcome ❤️❤️

[@rachelsfoodventures54]

I had some success making these buns, and some challenges :) I measured my dough by weight but it was drier than yours, it was barely sticky at all. I think Canada's all purpose flour (12% protein) is just super thirsty so I'll use less flour next time! Also FIY for other viewers, this takes a long time to knead by hand, about 30 minutes for me. I didn't make the filling so I made 9 buns instead of 12; however, I think I should have made 12 anyway because mine took about 42 minutes to bake to reach ~200*F internally... but they taste so amazing! I've never had a coconut flavored bread before, and I definitely need more of it in my life :D Thank you!

[@dewdropscam439]

I made this last night Aimee and it was a hit! I copied everything as shown in the video and description box and the outcome was perfect. I was gonna share the photo of my ube milk buns but I couldn't copy paste it on this comment box. In order to achieve a bright purple color, I put some drops of ube extract. Thank you Aimee for being so detailed in your presentation. I appreciate the dough mixing speed tips and the emphasis you gave on the final dough appearance. I love your channel btw. I am looking forward to making your strawberry cheesecake macarons, soon, God willing😋

[@jocelyndecastro6334]

Yes! Finally! Real - real purple yam used in the dough. No artificial yucky flavoring and coloring. Thanks!

[@annp1191]

Hello and good morning from sunny Arizona! First of all, I would like to say thank you to you for sharing your knowledge and passion in baking. Your videos make baking look so easy and do-able especially for beginners like me. I am looking forward to see your updated version of ingredients in cups. Yes, lol, I am one of those who don’t have a scale but willing to try the recipe ASAP. Thank you again and Hod bless you in your baking journey!

[@AimeesCooking]

Hello!! Thank you for your comment. Yes, will update when I have a chance. 🙂

[@datgal2u]

You're a great teacher, Aimee! I love how you explained everything - especially important for someone who does not bake like me. The color achieved is absolutely beautiful and the buns looks yum!

[@AimeesCooking]

Thank you Dear!! ❤️❤️😘

[@HuongNguyen-yz5by]

Just made the buns using 75% ingredients for 20cmx20cm (8 inch) square pan but reduced 50% yeast (just 5 grams which I find already enough). I made 9 buns, each weighed 78 grams. They turned out exactly like the video. They the softest buns that I’ve ever baked so far! I skipped the filling as we like to eat them plain or with kaya jam. Great recipe!

[@AimeesCooking]

Nice!!! I am glad you like it 😀

I just made your bread! I don’t have heavy cream for the filling instead I used cream cheese and added some sugar and it turned out AMAZING!! Thank you for the recipe.

[@AimeesCooking]

Yay!! Another successful attempt. Love it!! 👏

[@devonmontecillo1510]

Hi! How much cream cheese and sugar did you use in your filling? Did you sub the white chocolate for the sugar? Thank you!

[@minniechew5604]

Devon Montecillo I actually just eyeball it! I kind of put 1/3 of a bar and mixed with the smashed purple yam with sugar. Tasted it as I go along until I feel the right sweetness. Don’t put too much tho, the cream cheese will melt when baking and will make the buns more dense. And yes, I substitute the white chocolate with sugar.

[@tteardrop]

[@maryannesteban5354]

This ube bread looks so yummy especially the ube filling. I can't wait to try your ube bread. Question about your ube filling. Is it possible if your ube filling recipe can be use for ube ice cream? I'm also searching for a creamy ube ice cream recipe that I can use to sell for extra income. I hope someday you can share a good gourmet ube ice cream recipe for me to try. Thank you for sharing your recipes.

Hello again Aimee, happy to let you know that i made the buns yesterday and it turned out great - light, fluffy and tasty. Thx. The only thing that I was not able to achieve was the color of the buns. Pls confirm only use 100gr of Ube for the buns and 200 gr for the filling? Or 150 gr of Ube for each? Thanks again. Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see what is next 😉.

[@AimeesCooking]

Thank you! The measurements are correct as listed in the recipe. The color really depends on the purple potatoes you purchased. Their colors do vary, lighter or darker. You can see in the video how dark mine was. If your dough is light, you can add some Ube extract to enhance the color. Butterfly brand is a good one 😉

[@melissathieu4483]

Sis ơi, I love all your bread recipes, your instructions is so easy to follow. Do you have cream cheese rolls/ bread recipe? I would love to learn from you 😁

[@AimeesCooking]

Working on one 😊

[@ivan00b]

I made these and they are really soft. I didnt use the mixer because i dont have one and i've been making my bread by hand for years. I also think there's too much yeast. It's very yeasty in my opinion. You really need a lot of ube to achieve that Ube flavor. I think ube flavoring would help to intensify the Ube taste that it's lacking. Also, depending on what Ube you are using, you might get deep or light color. I got light this time. Overall, i like it. It tastes like "monay" or "bun" as we call it.

[@AimeesCooking]

Thank you!! The filling helps with the flavor too. 🙂

[@nhung4782]

Hi Aimee, looks so yummy. Is there a reason why you add white chocolate to the filling? Don’t have it hand, ok to skip? Thx.

[@AimeesCooking]

Enhances the taste. Also helps to thicken it well after cooled. Yet, melts while baked so the filling is super creamy.

Hi!!! I LOVE these buns! Is it possible to make the dough and filling a day in advance? If so, at what point would you refrigerate the dough? Thanks!

Place the dough in the fridge after the first rest. Take them out the next day, shape, fill, and let it come back to room temp, proof, and bake.

Thanks Aimee for the recipe. I made it and it was delish!!! I was too nervous about the filling oozing out so I ended up have a lot of extra left over. Do you think I could freeze it for next time or will the consistency be too wet? Or how long do you think it'll last in the fridge? Thanks again for the recipe!!!

[@AimeesCooking]

Should be fine in the fridge for a few days. I would prefer that over freezing it.

[@mylantran3640]

I do like your tutorials slow and clear recently because covit 19 i stay home a lot so I been watching a lot baking video I like to made from purple sweet potatoes too is my favourite colour but one thing I don't understand is you call sweet potatoes yam ?

[@AimeesCooking]

It’s sweet purple potatoes.

[@jackietran1424]

Hi Aimee, I just want to say your baking is amazing, I have a question, if I use the taro instead of ube, do I have to put more sugar in the filling or any ingredient measurements change? Thank you. 👩🏼‍🍳🧁🥧🍪🍰❤️💕

[@AimeesCooking]

Thank you!!! That’s so sweet and kind of you to say 😘😘 As for your question....Maybe a little more sugar to the dough. It’s not as sweet on it’s own compared to purple potatoes. Also, for the filling, you can taste test it and adjust to the sweetness you want. 🙂

[@jackietran1424]

Aimee's Cooking thank you so much. 💕👩🏼‍🍳

[@AimeesCooking]

You’re welcome 😉

[@kittyd6977]

Made mine and it turned out fabulous. The dough was soft and elastic. The filling was not as sweet as I like so I will add more sugar to it next time.

[@AimeesCooking]

Yay! Glad you liked it. ❤️

[@lle5251]

Hi Aimee, I am thinking of replacing the ube for durian to make Durian milk bread using your Ube bread recipe. What do you think?

[@AimeesCooking]

It’s fine, but be careful with the amount of durian. It tends to be more watery than Ube 🙂

[@Gargamoth]

I have to say, I don't care for yam filling, but the buns look very appetizing.

[@AimeesCooking]

Give it a try. These sweet potatoes are so flavorful 🤤

[@sokkiebun]

Can I substitute the ube yam with ube purple yam jam if that’s all I can find? This is for the dough.

[@AimeesCooking]

Yes, but you might have to add just a little less water to the flour to accommodate this replacement. 😁

[@maxinechann]

Hi!! Just curious why we need to use melted butter here instead of softened butter? As most other milk breads/bread recipes I've tried uses softened butter instead. Can't wait to try this recipe!

[@AimeesCooking]

You can use room temp butter. I like to melt it to help increase the temp in the dough a little. Yeast don’t like to work in cold temp.

[@araceliescano683]

Can I use halayang ube as filling instead of the filling with white chocolate.Thankyou

[@samanthanguyen2007]

Is there a substitute I can use for white chocolate. I bought everything except the chocolate :)

[@AimeesCooking]

You can use some condense milk if you have, otherwise, just plain sugar 🙂

[@apa208]

Can we use cocunut flour?

[@ttran7689]

If I use an ube halaya paste as opposed to the potatoes and coconut mixture, how much paste would u recommend?

[@maryd916]

Thank you so much! My dough wasn't as wet as as yours is and after baking it, the bread didn't pull apart in a stretchy way like yours did. Do you think maybe I didn't mix it long enough?

[@AimeesCooking]

Sounds like that might be it.

[@OmfgOakt]

Literally gasped when you tore that roll open 😲

[@AimeesCooking]

i made your recipe mine doesn’t rise I follow your recipe 😊

[@loidaaguilar7421]

what happened when my dough is not wet and mine looks dry follow the time from the video too.

[@AimeesCooking]

You may have to adjust the water. It might need a little more. Depending on your flour source it might be drier than mine. Also, make sure the yeast you are using is still active. And depending on what type of yeast, it might need to be activated prior to adding into the flour mixture. Hope this helps.

[@freckledyellow]

I can't wait to try making this and your coconut pandan milk bread -- thank you for sharing! For both recipes, would it be ok to form the buns in the pan, fridge it overnight, let it come to room temperature, then bake it?
