Julia strikes again! She simply cannot get enough of the humble Pandan! Today she brings us another of her favourite recipes - "Pandan Coconut Bread Roll". We did ask her to consider marrying Pandan and Banana, but her children are not banana fans so Coconut it is! Anyway, we have Coconut Milk Powder in our store to complement this recipe, so why not!

Pandan is the new Black, actually Green as predicted by Nigella Lawson. You can see it trending daily with a lot of dessert shops calling themselves "Pandan". Pictured here are Pandan cinnamon rolls, Pandan sausage bread rolls and Pandan bears (these are too cute to eat!).
Method:
(1) Make the Tang Zhong by mixing everything together over low heat. Place into the fridge overnight.
(2) Mix Tang Zhong with bread dough. Form a ball and let it proof until more than double its size.
(3) Make the filling. Whisk the ingredients until creamy and well mixed.
(4) Roll the dough to 25cm x 45cm in size. Spread 1/3 of the filling onto the dough leaving 1/3 of the dough untouched.
(5) Fold the top 1/3 of the dough downwards the middle and then fold the bottom 1/3 upwards. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and roll the dough out to 45x30cm.
(6) Spread the remaining filling evenly across the surface. Roll the dough to form a log and slice into 9 pieces. Put into tin to proof until double size.
(7) Brush with egg wash and bake at 180C for 30 minutes until golden.
