Combine 3 tablespoons of water, 3 tablespoons of milk, and 2 tablespoons of bread flour in a small saucepan to create a paste.

Cook the paste over heat until thickened, then turn off the heat.

Add 1/2 cup of milk and 1 large egg to the paste and set aside.

In a stand mixer, combine 2 1/2 cups of bread flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of instant yeast, and 2 tablespoons of milk powder.

Mix the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and 4 tablespoons of melted butter.

Knead the dough on medium speed for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough in half; keep one half covered.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of pandan extract and a drop of green food coloring to one half of the dough and knead until incorporated.

Leave the other half plain and pink in color.

Let both doughs rest in oiled bowls for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

Butter a loaf pan and divide each dough into two equal loaves.

Roll out the dough, tuck the ends under, and place them in the pan.

Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 50 minutes until puffed up.

Beat one egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the mixture on top of the dough.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 32 minutes until golden brown.

Let the bread cool before slicing.
