Pandan Cake Bread

I browsed through the book over and over again and finally settled on this recipe for my very 1st shot at Bread. Though the bread didn't turned out very soft and fluffy, it was already quite good for a 1st attempt... :D

Ingredients:

· 300g basic bread dough
· 250g sponge mix

· 4 eggs

· 50g pandan leaves

· 1tsp pandan essence

· 50g cooking oil

· 50g raisins (optional - i did not add this)

Method:

For Bread:

· Following the basic bread dough recipe, prepare bread dough of 300g

· Soak raisins in water for 5mins, remove to drain and mix into bread dough (you may skip this step if you do not wish to add in raisins)

· Divide dough into 150g each, roll them, proof for 10mins, mould into round shapes, place them onto a 2 x 8 cm inch greased baking mould, allow to leaven for 30mins

For Cake:

· Blend sponge mix, eggs, pandan leaves and pandan essence in the mixer at fast speed for 10 to 15 mins in the mixer. When flour paste becomes thick, add in cooking oil and blend at slow speed.

· Pour the thick paste on surface of leavened bread.

· Place into pre-heated oven, bake at 200ºC for 30 to 35 mins. Serve.
