Ube Kalihim – Soft and sweet flatbread with ube Halaya fillings. Made in United Kingdom. Filipino Kalihim bread, also known as "Kalihim" or "Kahim," is a type of soft and sweet bread that is popular in the Philippines. It is a loaf-shaped bread that has a light and fluffy texture, making it a favorite snack or breakfast item for many Filipinos. The origin of Kalihim bread is not clear, but it is believed to have been introduced to the Philippines during the American colonial period. The bread may have been influenced by the American style of baking, which used modern techniques and ingredients such as baking powder and milk. To make Kalihim bread, a dough is typically made with flour, yeast, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and butter. The dough is then left to rise before being shaped into a loaf and left to rise again. Once the dough has risen, it is baked in the oven until it is golden brown and fully cooked.
