Pandan Coconut Whipping Cream Bread 班兰椰香淡奶油面包 LTU #13

Bread making is a love and hate feeling for me, I love making bread as I enjoy the moment when I am able to stretch the dough till windowpane stage without tearing, I never get tire of it. The hate feeling is, making bread is such a long waiting hours lol.

I had baked Wu Bao Chun Champion loaf before but yet to post, the bread were well received. So while looking for recipe to bake some bread last min (since I was able to wake up at 4am), this straight forward method is one of the top choice. To make it for LTU, I turned this bread to pandan coconut flavor.

Recipe Adapted from Aunty Young with modifications.

Ingredients : yield 1077g dough

590g bread flour

10g coconut powder

48g sugar

6g salt

30 butter

6g or 1.5 tsp yeast

170g pandan juice (20g pandan extract and 150 pandan water)

80g whipping cream

146g milk

Method :
1. Mix all ingredients (except butter) into a dough using low speed, then use medium speed to knead it into a shiny and smooth texture.

2. When the dough looks smooth and slightly elastic, add butter. Continue kneading until the dough is  smooth, glossy and elastic, until reach windowpane stage.

3. Shape the dough into ball and place it in a greased bowl, spray some water at the dough and cover with a wet towel or cling wrap. Let it proof until double in size, about 45-60 mins.

4. Place the dough on a floured surface. Gently press the dough to remove air bubble. Divide the dough evenly.

5.Roll each small dough into balls. Spray with some water, cover with cling wrap and let to rest for 10 minutes.

6. Shaped the dough, wrap with desire filling and place in the greased baking pan. Repeat for the rest of the dough.

7. Spray with some water and let to proof until double in size, about 30 - 40 mins.

8. Brush some egg wash on top, follow by sprinkle with desire topping, if necessary. 

 9. Bake in a 180C preheated oven until golden, about 15-17 minutes.

10. Remove from oven and place on the wire rack to cool down.

11. Keep in air-tight container after completely cool. 

Verdict?

This bread is so yummy, even dear husband also given BIG thumbs up. It is soft, fluffy with pandan coconut fragrance, definitely a keeper!
