Pandan Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Place milk, egg, bread flour, cake flour, sugar, yeast, pandan paste, pandan flavor, and all butter into a bread machine in the order listed. Select light crust setting. Run bread cycle. Remove bread from the machine after the cycle is done, about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the coconut custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch.
• Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Once the coconut milk is simmering, very slowly pour into the bowl with the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine and temper the eggs.
• Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a clean medium bowl and whisk in the vanilla and coconut extracts.
• Set the bowl over another bowl filled with ice water (make sure the water level is not so high that it gets into the custard) and let the custard cool for 10 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once the custard has cooled, scoop onto the prepared baking sheet in 1-tablespoon discs, spacing evenly. You should have at least 20 custard discs. Transfer to the freezer for 90 minutes, until frozen.
• Make the pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and pandan extract. Add the melted butter and whisk to combine.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or a pancake griddle over medium-low heat and grease with nonstick spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan and cook the pancake halfway, about 2-3 minutes. Place a disc of frozen coconut custard in the center, cover the custard with about 1 tablespoon more batter and flip. Cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter and coconut custard to make 20 pancakes total.
• Serve with butter, maple syrup, and toasted coconut flakes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the kaya jam: Beat eggs in a large metal bowl. Using a blender, blend half of the coconut milk with the fresh pandan until the milk is fragrant and a light green color. Pour the pandan milk through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl with the eggs. Use the back of a spoon to press liquid from leaves; discard leaves. Rinse the blender.
• Blend the remaining half of the coconut milk with palm sugar until smooth. Pour directly into the pandan egg mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Set blender aside without washing.
• Fill a large pot with water to a depth of 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium. Set the bowl on the pot to create a double-boiler. (The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.) Gently and frequently whisk the kaya mixture in figure-eight motions until thickened to the consistency of pudding, about 20 minutes. If you hear bubbling in the pot or see the kaya begin to clump, lower the heat.
• Blend the cooked kaya to smooth out any clumps. You should have about 3 1/2 cups. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 30 days. It will thicken more when chilled.
• Make the toast: Fill a small pot with water, cover and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, gently add the eggs, cover and immediately remove from heat. Let eggs sit undisturbed for 6 minutes. Strain eggs and run under cold water until cool enough to handle. Crack and peel one end of each egg, and gently run a spoon along the inside of the shell to extract the egg within. Divide the eggs between two small bowls. Drizzle with the soy sauce and season with pepper, if using.
• Toast the bread and spread about 2 tablespoons kaya jam on the warm slices. Place the cold salted butter slices evenly on top of 2 slices and sandwich with the other slices. Cut each sandwich in half using the tip of a knife to avoid pressing too firmly on it and serve with the bowls of eggs for dipping.
