Butter Coconut Buns 椰子麵包


As mentioned in earlier blog here is the recipe for Coconut buns  that I made the day before Junior was born.  It's from Alex Goh's Baking Class - Bread.


Ingredients
One portion of basic sweet bun dough


Filling
60 g butter (softened)
150 g sugar
1 egg
150 g desiccated coconut

Method



- Prepare filling: Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add egg and cream until smooth.  Add desiccated coconut and mix until well blended.






- Shape filling mixture into 30g balls and set aside.  (This gave me enough for 25 balls.)







- Divide the basic sweet bun dough into 60 g portions, mould into balls and leave to rest for 10 minutes.  (I managed to get 30 balls from my dough.)              





- Lightly roll them flat.  Put the coconut filling on the sweet bun dough.. Wrap them up.






- Roll the dough flat to 14cm round, fold into half moon shape then in half again.






















-  Using a knife cut an opening in the middle of the round edge.  Then pull the opening apart gently and make a v-shape.  Carefully open  up the inner face so you can see the filling.  Place onto a greased pan.












- Leave to prove for 45 minutes or until they double in size.








- Brush with egg wash and bake at 190C for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
