Every bite of my Ube Cheese Pandesal is more than just soft bread filled with ube and creamy cheese—it’s a piece of home. Growing up, I always looked forward to my Lola’s homemade ube halaya. The sweet, fragrant purple yam she patiently stirred in her kitchen became one of my most treasured memories.
Living far from the Philippines, I found myself missing that taste of comfort. So, I recreated it in my own way—by baking Ube Pandesal, soft and warm, with that rich purple goodness tucked inside. To make it even more special, I added my favorite creamy cheese, the perfect match that balances the sweetness of ube with a touch of savory melt. Each batch I make carries the love and nostalgia of Lola’s kitchen, proudly shared now through BakeStory.
It’s not just bread—it’s family, memory, and tradition rolled into one. 💜
