Pandan Kaya Buns/ Gelatinized Dough Method - Bread # 11

Pin It Now! 

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.
Adapted and modified from ReeseKitchen, and Frozen wings, Japanese cream buns.

  3. Alice,
    For those who like pandan kaya flavour, do try out this recipe.

    Lena,
    I guess this is streusel topping. I adapted from Alex Goh, The world of bread cookbook.
