Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Shredded coconut (desiccated)
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for filling)
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Warm the milk slightly (ensure it is lukewarm, not hot) and add it to the dry ingredients.
Add the melted butter and egg to the bowl, and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the shredded coconut, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to deflate and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 30x20 cm in size.
Spread the coconut filling evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 2 cm border on all sides.
Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the log into 8 even slices and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the egg wash by whisking 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water.
Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash to give them a shiny finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your sweet coconut rolls!
