Ube Piaya

Mayon, hindi naman kaylangan maguing perfectly round yung shape ng inyong piaya, pero para makatulo na maguing circle sha, kaylangan yung irrotate yung inyong piaya as you flatten it. Hindi pweding yung flatten sha from one direction only. Today, I will be making ube piaya. So let's start by adding 1 cup or 125 grams of all-purpose flour. Then add 1/4 cup water, then 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. I'm using coconut oil or spring or canola oil or any other oil, but flavorless. And then let's add fine salt. So a pinch lang. Tapos using your hands, haluin itong mabute. Siempre ito lang ang dalin nasa inyo mga kamay. Indigitokay na imansa pero make sure na mahalo mabute lahat ng ingredients. So pag nakita ninyo na uniform na yung itura ng inyo ng dough, ibalik lang ito sa bowl. Tapos you cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Habang nagigintay, pwey di nyan ating gawen yung ating ube filling. So may naman dito about 1/3 to 1/2 cup na ube halaya, or exactly 100 grams. To this, you need to add 1/2 cup or 60 grams na powdered sugar, tapos 1/4 cup or 32 grams na all-purpose flour. Mayonnaise, I spoon to mix this all together because it's very sticky, so I don't want to mix it all together. So just mix this until everything is well combined. So what's the best ube halaya that I can find? Because there are many ube halaya that are flavoring or camote, just for color. So as you can see, just sticky sha. So you need to chill this in the freezer para mas magilis for about 15 minutes or until it's moldable. After 15 minutes of freezer, medyo na firm up na sha, pero sticky pa rin yan kaya unglogay ka yung harina sa inyo mahamay at sa inyo work surface para So we form it into a long cylinder and then divide this into 8 equal pieces. So you might need to use a ruler to help you measure so that it will be exact. And for exact measurement, you can use a weighing scale. So after we portion it, we will put it in the freezer while we prepare the dough. So 30 minutes lang lumipas eto na ang ating dough. Kailangan natin siyang iflaten into a rectangular shape, hindi kailangan perfect, hanggang mga 2 millimeters thick sha. Tapos, ibrush natin sha with a little cooking oil. Make sure na ilivnyo yung edges without oil kasi isisil natin sha. Pag may oil, hindi natin sha masisil. So after ma-brush natin yung surface, You roll it, tapos seal the edge. Afterwards, divide into 8 pieces as well. Para magin very exact measurement, you check with your weighing scale and adjust accordingly. After that, you can already slightly flatten your dough. So make sure na ito flatten nyo from the smooth style. Hindi don sa kita yung rolled surface. Tapos, i-cover nisha and i-rest po let for 15 minutes. Mahalaga po yung resting time na ito para madaling i-roll or i-shape ang inyong piyaya. Uh, after 15 minutes, padenanatin ilagay sa loob yung ating ube filling. So as you can see, lagay nilang sha sa center na inyong dough. And then seal the edges. Do this for the rest of the dough. As you can see, I'm using a little bit of ube filling for your dough. You can use more ube filling to make it more delicious, seal the edges, and it won't fall apart once you flatten your naiong dough. Using a rolling pin, flatten your naiong piaya into a circular shape. Make sure na yung edges yung nasataas at i-flatte nisha from that side. Mayon, hindi naman kailangan magin perfectly round yung shape ng inyong piyaya, pero para makatulo na magin circle sha, kailangan nyo i-rotate yung inyong piyaya as you flatten it. Hindi ko nang i-flatten sha from one direction only. So yung inyong piyaya should be about 4 to 5 inches in diameter once na marol nisha o ma-flatten nisha. So once it's flattened, you put it in a flat pan over a very low fire. You just let it cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. It's already boiling already. You don't need to add more oil because there's oil in the piaya. It's already greased with oil, so it's already oily. There's already an oily surface. But if you want it extra crispy, Yung surface na inutya ya, puede namamaglagay na manipis na mantika dun sa inyong pan. Yan, so ito na ang ating betiyaya. Enjoy!
