Bahan-bahan(untuk 2 thick slices (approx. 80g total))
- 1 1/2 cups High-protein wheat flour (tepung gandum protein tinggi)
- 1 tsp Instant yeast (yis segera)
- 2 tbsp Fresh pandan juice (jus pandan segar)
- 1/2 cup Low-fat milk (susu rendah lemak)
- 1 tbsp Honey (madu)
- 1/2 tsp Salt (garam)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (minyak zaitun)
- as needed Water (air biasa)
- 1 tbsp Optional mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin) (biji campuran) - pilihan
Arahan
- 1
In a large bowl, combine high-protein wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the yeast evenly.
3 minutes
Ensure yeast does not come in direct contact with salt to avoid killing the yeast.
- 2
Add low-fat milk, pandan juice, honey, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms. Add water gradually as needed.
4 minutes
Use lukewarm milk to help the yeast activate faster.
- 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
10 minutes
Proper kneading develops gluten for that signature fluffy texture.
- 4
Shape the dough into a loaf and place into a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let it proof in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
60 minutes
Proof in a warm, humid spot (like near a window) for best results.
