Coconut Pullapart Rolls (Brazilian Padarias)
Adapted from Juliana at Simple Recipes
Ingredients:
Dough
-
½ cup milk
-
1 egg
-
2 cups bread flour
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
30g/1 oz butter
-
2 tablespoon sugar
-
2 teaspoons yeast
Filling
-
1/3 cup sugar
-
¼ cup milk
-
¾ cup coconut flakes
-
1 beaten egg to brush the rolls
Step 1 - In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix all of the dough ingredients until elastic (about 4-5 minutes using a dough hook, 6-8 minutes if kneading by hand). Place in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Step 2 - In the meantime, mix the ingredients of the filling and cook in low heat until a slightly creamy sauce. Do not over cook. Cool.
Step 3 - Grease a large loaf tin with oil. Knock the dough back by punching it with your fist and roll it open to a rectangle of approximately 1/3 to ½ inch thick. Spread the coconut filling on top of the dough. Roll it and cut into 16 pieces. Place the rolls in the greased loaf pan and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes until they look snugly fitted together.
Step 4 - Bake in a 220C/440F oven for 15-20 minutes.
