How to Make Milk Cream Bread (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Milk Cream Bread, also known locally as Roti Krim Susu, is a beloved Malaysian bakery treat that perfectly captures the essence of Malaysia’s multicultural food heritage. Found in many kopitiams and bakeries, this soft and fluffy bread is filled with a luscious milk cream that’s lightly sweetened and aromatic. The dish is especially popular among children and adults alike, and often enjoyed for breakfast or as a teatime snack with a cup of teh tarik. What makes this bread distinctively Malaysian is the use of local ingredients like pandan leaves, which infuse the bread and cream with a gentle fragrance that’s instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with Malaysian cuisine. This healthy version of Milk Cream Bread is designed for calorie-conscious foodies without compromising on authenticity. The recipe uses less sugar, incorporates whole wheat flour for added fiber, and replaces some of the butter with heart-healthy oils. The milk cream filling is made lighter with low-fat dairy, keeping the bread creamy yet guilt-free. It’s a perfect example of how traditional Malaysian comfort food can be adapted for modern, health-focused lifestyles, while still celebrating the flavors and ingredients that make Malaysia’s food scene so unique.
Bahan-bahan(untuk 1 large filled bun per serving)

- 1 piece Pandan leaf (daun pandan, knotted)
- 1 Egg (Telur, grade B)
- 2 tbsp Sugar (gula)

Arahan
- 1
Warm the low-fat milk with the knotted pandan leaf over low heat for 3 minutes until aromatic. Remove pandan and let milk cool slightly.
5 minutes
Do not boil the milk—just infuse for delicate pandan aroma.
- 2
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2 minutes
Ensure yeast and salt are on opposite sides of the bowl before mixing to avoid deactivating the yeast.
- 3
Pour in the cooled pandan-infused milk, egg, and olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
3 minutes
Use a spatula or your hands; dough will be sticky at first.
- 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place back in bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
10 minutes
