Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Dry active yeast
• 1 cups Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cups Coconut flakes (sweetened)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoons Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the dry active yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the coconut filling by mixing the coconut flakes, brown sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Flatten each piece into a small disc and add about 1 tablespoon of the coconut filling to the center.

Step 9

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Roll gently into a ball.

Step 10

Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each bun.

Step 11

Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 13

Prepare the egg wash by whisking together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water.

Step 14

Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash.

Step 15

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 16

Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Coconut Bun Bread warm or at room temperature!
