Pandan Bubble Bread (Chigiri Pan) Holiday Tree Recipe by Kat Lieu
Note to self: Don’t try to create content for Instagram and bake the day after a Moderna booster shot while having a headache and fever. You’ll probably make wonky decisions like adding eyes to the bubbles and make frog-head-things that look more like little green monsters melted into the bread. When I was dreaming up this recipe, I imagined it to be cute as heck. The end result is a bit horrifying, admittedly (and according to my husband, looks like a monster in Nier Automata called Emil). I don’t recommend you add eyes when you make this cute holiday tree with no-knead bubble bread, but the kiddos in your life might find them cute! Decorate the “tree” to your heart’s desire. I added a few sprinkles here and there, and for the tree stump, I rolled out the dough and cut out a long triangular shape, and rolled into a croissant. You can use pandan extract, matcha, or green food coloring to make the bubble bread green. And to make the bread vegan, use vegan butter and plant-based milk instead of dairy butter and dairy milk.
Happy holidays, fam and friends! I would love to see your bubble bread holiday trees! Tag us #subtleasianbakes
