Soft Pandan Loaf ?????,????

Pandan aka screw pine, this is the plant that's available year long at my parent's house even before I was born, I guess. I am familiar with the fragrance and sweet aroma of pandan leaves because my mom used to make sweet soup and cakes using pandan leaves. We love anything with pandan flavour! Well, what I mean here, it's truly the extract from fresh pandan leaves, not pandan paste or artificial pandan essence. Those are 'not acceptable' by the food critic in our house. 

I was pampered with all the yummy homemade food prepared by my mom when I was young, now it's time for me to do it for the next generation. :D 

Home baked pandan bread for my son to eat during school recess.

This soft pandan loaf recipe was adapted from the Pandan Custard Bun. This time I would like to make a tall standing loaf, hence, I modified the recipe to yield lighter and fluffier bread. And yes, it's a successful one! 

Home baked bread always taste good and fragrant. This Pandan loaf added with freshly extracted pandan juice that made it even more aromatic. This recipe yield soft and fluffy bread that stay soft for days.

Lightly grease your baking tin if there's no non-stick coating.
