• Dissolve yeast in warm water (110-130°F). Stir to dissolve and let stand for 10 minutes. Set aside.
• While waiting for yeast to bubble,place milk, butter, sugar, and salt into a microwave-safe bowl/cup or saucepan.
• Microwave for around 1 minute or heat over low heat on the stove. (Mixture should NOT be over 115°F or feels hot to the touch.
• In a large bowl, combine 3cups flour, beaten egg andyeast mixture. Stir or mixto combine.
• Add the milk mixture.
• Add another 1 cup of flour then add more if needed. Continue mixing until a dough is formed.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth & elastic. (The dough should be soft and still slightly sticky.)​

​

​

• If dough is overly sticky when you do this, you need to add a bit more flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Form the dough into a ball and transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl,cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour.
• After rising, punch down the dough to release air packets and transfer onto a lightly floured surface.
• Use a dough slicer to divide the dough into 2equal parts.
• Using a rolling pin, roll 1 part of dough to a rectangle.
• Spread ube jamevenly.
• Roll up the dough to form a log. Slice the dough into equal parts.
• I shaped mine by pressing a stick (I used chopstick) in the middle of a sliced dough to get a nice deep markin the middle.
• Repeat the same procedure with the other dough.
• Place all shaped dough in a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

• Coverwith a damp cloth or plasticwrap and let it rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush with egg wash.
  
• Bake for 13-15minutes.
• Remove from oven.
• Serve and enjoy!

*** Oven temp varies. I suggest to bake it the first time at 325 deg F and see how it goes oruse an oven thermometer to make sure.
*** Always check before the set time. Set time for 12 minutes and check if top is golden brown. Do not overbake.
