This uniquely green loaf of bread has the green pigment attributed to avocado and pandan leaf. Without pandan leaf, the loaf tasted rather plain. It is advisable to bake this bread to "medium" crust colour to bring out the bread aroma. The presence of avocado, nata de coco in the yoghurt, pandan leaf and wholemeal flour, helps to add dietary fibre to the loaf. This healthy bread is soft to bite ;)

10. Place the bread pan into the machine, close the lid and turn on the power.
11. Select option "5" Sweet bread, choose your preferred crust colour, and press "start".
It is advisable to choose "Medium" crust colour to give the loaf a better aroma.
This step 12 is optional, you may leave the dough in the bread pan till baking cycle completes. By shaping the dough, you'll get a more uniform loaf and minimize the appearance of conspicuous air sacs within the loaf.
12. When the countdown timer appears at 1:55 (1 hour after started the "Sweet Dough" program), take out the dough and shape it into a ball.
Sprinkle some flour over the surface of the dough.
Remove the kneading blade, and place the dough back to the bread pan
As the dough maybe sticky, it is advisable to handle it with a pair of disposable gloves.
13. When the loaf rises too close to the window, to avoid having an untanned top, cover the window with a small piece of aluminum foil.
14. Transfer the loaf to a cooling rack immediately after the baking cycle ends.
A lighter crust colour
A darker crust colour has better bread aroma :)
Hi if I have left over coconut milk at home can I mix it half half with original yogurt to replace coconut yogurt?
