How to make Homemade Uncrustables
Prepare the Tangzhong
In a small saucepan, combine flour, water, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Prepare the Yeast Mixture
In a small bowl, combine yeast and lukewarm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Tangzhong, yeast mixture, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, milk, egg, and softened butter.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
Assemble the Uncrustables
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat circle.
Spread ube jam and place mozzarella cheese on one half of the circle. Fold the dough over and seal the edges.
Cook the Uncrustables
Cook the assembled Uncrustables in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Tricks
For a sweeter version, add more sugar to the dough or use a sweeter filling.
Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
FAQS
What is Tangzhong and why is it used in this recipe?
Tangzhong is a cooked mixture of flour and liquid (in this case, milk and water) that helps to create a soft and fluffy texture in bread. It retains moisture and improves the overall quality of the dough.
Can I use a different type of jam instead of ube jam?
Yes, you can substitute ube jam with any other jam or spread of your choice, such as strawberry, grape, or peanut butter, depending on your taste preference.
How do I know when the dough has risen enough?
The dough is ready when it has doubled in size. You can check this by gently pressing your finger into the dough; if the indentation remains, it is properly risen.
Can I make these Uncrustables ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Uncrustables ahead of time. Assemble them and store them in the refrigerator for a day or freeze them for longer storage. Just make sure to cook them before serving.
What can I serve with Homemade Uncrustables?
Homemade Uncrustables can be served with a side of fresh fruit, a dipping sauce like chocolate or caramel, or even a glass of milk for a complete snack or meal.
