Homemade Sweet Coconut Bread

In mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, yeast, milk powder/powdered milk and salt, and mix on low speed for one minute.

Add water and 1 egg and mix on low speed for one minute.

Add in the butter and kneed until smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minutes at medium speed.

Cover dough with towel and let it rise in a warm place until volume doubles in size.

Punch the dough down. Now take the dough and divide into 6 and make 6 balls. Cover the balls and let rest for about 10 minutes.

Next, in a thick bottomed pan, put coconut pani, cinnamon and sugar and bring to boil (you need it to be around 100C degrees so use a thermometer).Then add the pani mixture to the coconut powder and mix well. Let cool.

Take a dough ball and roll it with rolling pin. Roll each ball into thin disks about 6 inches in diameter. Now place sweet coconut mixture in the middle of each disk then make round balls, about the size of a lime.

Now place the six balls into a greased baking round tray (7 inch diameter). Cover with tea towel and allow to rise for about 30 minutes.

After that beat the remaining 1 egg and brush over the bread and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Bake at 200C degrees for 15 minutes.

Serve and enjoy.
