What is Ube
An Ube roll is a delightful Filipino bread with dough filled with Ube Jam. The filling is mainly made from ube, a purple yam typically found in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia. To prepare the roll, a layer of ube halaya (mashed purple yam) is evenly spread over a flattened dough, then rolled up to form a log shape similar to that of a cinnamon roll.
What do you eat with ube buns?
Ube buns are a sweet treat; you can pair them with other foods. Some people enjoy them with tea or coffee, while others might serve them alongside savory dishes to contrast the salty flavors.
What is the name of the Ube roll?
The specific name of the Ube Roll may vary depending on the bakery or region, but it is commonly known as “Ube Roll” or “Ube Swiss Roll” due to its Swiss roll-like appearance.

How to Make Ube Rolls
This is a quick look on how I make Ube Rolls. Complete instructions are in the recipe card.

- Use the electric mixer’s hook attachment. Place the All-purpose flour in the mixing bowl. Add the egg. Spin ten times then add the yeast mixture.
- Form the dough into a ball and return it to the mixing bowl. Cover and let it double in size for an hour.
- After an hour, punch and remove the air out. Form into a ball and let it sit for another thirty minutes.
- When ready, use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to one fourth or half an inch thick. Fill with the Ube jam, leaving an inch unfilled.
- Roll and seal on and cut a kitchen twine.
