- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (mentega tanpa garam)
- 1 tsp Active dry yeast (yis)

Arahan
- 1
Combine warm low-fat milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
5 minutes
Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix to form a soft dough.
5 minutes
Use a wooden spoon and mix gently to avoid overworking the dough.
- 3
Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
7 minutes
For faster rising, place the bowl near a warm window or in a switched-off oven.
- 4
Punch down the dough and divide into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a rectangle about 1cm thick. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese and finely chopped pandan leaf evenly over each.
4 minutes
Roll gently to avoid tearing the dough for an even cheese layer.
