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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Warm the milk slightly (ensure it is lukewarm, not hot) and add it to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the melted butter and egg to the bowl, and mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to deflate and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 30x20 cm in size.

Step 8

Spread the coconut filling evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 2 cm border on all sides.

Step 9

Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 10

Cut the log into 8 even slices and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll.

Step 11

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 13

Prepare the egg wash by whisking 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water.

Step 14

Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash to give them a shiny finish.

Step 15

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

Step 16

Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your sweet coconut rolls!
