Instructions
- Add flour, sugar, salt and instant yeast to a large mixing bowl. Mix these dry ingredients and set it aside.
- Add the coconut milk in a small saucepan. Turn on the stove in low flame, place the pan on the stove and heat until the coconut milk is warm enough to handle using your fingertips.
- Turn off the flame and add 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Pour this warm coconut mixture into the large bowl containing the flour mixture.
- Mix gently using a spatula until both the wet and the dry ingredients are combined well into a rough dough. By now the bread dough will be sticky.
- Transfer the dough onto a clean kitchen counter slightly dusted with flour.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes until you get soft and smooth non-sticky dough. (Grease your hands with little melted butter whenever required)
- Grease another bowl using little melted butter and place the kneaded dough inside the bowl.
- Apply little melted butter all over the dough and place the bowl covered, in a warm place for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or until the dough doubles in size.
- After the dough is doubled in size, using a pizza slicer or a sharp spatula cut the dough into equal parts.
- Take a part of the dough, shape into a round ball and roll it into 1/8 inch thick circle.
- Apply melted butter on the rolled circle and fold over. Brush the top with melted butter.
- Place it on a baking tray aligned with parchment sheet.
- Repeat the same for all the parts of the dough.
- Place the baking tray in a warm place for another 15 – 30 minutes for the second rise.
- Meanwhile preheat oven at 160c.
- Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the bread for 20 – 22 minutes at 160c or until the top turns golden brown.
- Apply little melted butter and allow the bread to cool on a cooling rack.
- Insert patty of your choice or serve it with any accompaniments as desired.
Recipe Notes
- To speed up the proofing process in cold weather – Microwave water for 2 minutes or until it boils. Cover and place the bowl containing the bread dough, in the microwave for the dough to double in size.
- Instead of folding over, you can as well as make small bun shaped breads and bake if required.
- The oven temperature and timings differs from one oven to another. Please adjust according to your oven settings.
