ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
steps
- 1.
In a small bowl, combine warm coconut milk and sugar; sprinkle yeast over the top, stirring gently. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- 2.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; create a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.
- 3.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
- 5.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 6.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into an oval.
- 7.
Fold the oval in half, pinch the edges to seal, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- 8.
Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- 9.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
