Pandan Kaya Buns/ Gelatinized Dough Method - Bread # 11





These buns are ready and packed in box

 

As I mentioned before I bring chocolate banana, pumpkin cake and these pandan kaya buns as present during Parents/Teacher Conference in my previous post. I did mention I will share this kaya buns recipe in coming post. Here are the buns.

Actually this recipe is modified from Japanese cream bun which I saw in Frozen wings blog. Her soft and fluffy buns attracted me. Since I am baking for crowd this 500g bread flour recipe is the right choice. Instead of sweet cream buns I change into pandan kaya buns which I think is more suitable. The results came out great! I like the fragrant of coconut and the bright green colour of pandan. The topping provide extra sweetness and texture to these pandan kaya buns.

When I wrote this post then only realised I had used this recipe for Cinnamon Rolls with Dried Fruits. The sequence of steps is different with previous post. This time I add all wet ingredients first before dry. The result turns out great in either ways.
