Coconut Bun

September 15, 2012

Recipe for the dough is adapted from masam manis blog with very minor changes as I did not add in the Pandan essence. As for the filling, is from my own recipe. Happy trying :)

Dough Ingredients:

250 g superfine flour

50 g plain flour

2 tbsp butter or margerine

40 ml fresh milk

1 egg

2 tbsp sugar

½ tsp salt

1 tsp dry yeast

1 tsp bread improver or dough softener

Few drop of green food colouring

Filling Ingredients:

400 g water

300 g fresh grated coconut

150 g sugar

1 cloves

1 srewpine leaf

Egg Wash: Mix 1 egg and 3 tbsp of fresh milk

Method:

Prepare coconut filling

Mix all the filling ingredient; stir and cook until almost dry. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Prepare dough

Place all ingredients in the mixing bowl and knead until smooth. Transfer the dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place the dough in a warm place and let it rise to double in its original size – about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and divide into 16 equal balls and leave for another 8 to 15 minutes.
Flatten each dough and wrap in the coconut filling and shape it into round shape.
Place the doughs on a baking tray for another 40 minutes proofing.
Brush the top of the dough with egg wash and sprinkle desiccated coconut on top just before baking.
Bake approximately 20 minutes at 180C on preheated oven.
Enjoy!
