Fancy coconut bread

Fancy coconut bread
I haven't made bread for a long time. At first, I thought 'laziness' was the main reason, but after careful analysis, the main reason was still because of my little friend. He used to sleep with his grandma every weekend at night. I don't know when it started. He couldn't hold on to it anymore and insisted on sleeping at his home every day-with me. Whenever he was off work, he would go to bed early and get up late, making me dare not move when I woke up, and I had no idea of making bread. I'm ashamed to say that my friend is not young anymore. He will be 11 after the New Year and will soon surpass me. However, he has very little courage. Why does he always stick to me? Hey, this child who won't grow up makes me happy and sad!

I couldn't help but want to make bread on Saturday. I mixed the dough at eight o'clock in the evening and placed it on the balcony for cold fermentation. At eight o'clock on Sunday morning, I couldn't care about the child who was not growing up, and my mind was filled with the dough on the balcony. I was afraid that I would accidentally get up. I opened it and found that it was okay. It was just twice as big as it was. God bless me, Amitabha!

    Remove the exhaust gas and divide it into 12 equal parts, round and relax for 15 minutes. The total weight of the dough is 500g, which is more than 40 grams per serving
  • Make  step 10
    11
    Divide the coconut filling into 12 equal parts. The total coconut filling is 200g, and each order is more than 15g

    Take a portion of the relaxed dough, press it flat and put in a coconut filling, hold the filling with your right thumb, and gradually gather the dough with your left hand until the filling is completely wrapped

    This time, I made two shapes. First look at the heart-shaped ones and wrap the filling. Then close them and wash them down on the panel, and roll them into an oval shape.
  • Make  step 13
    14
    First fold the lower long side upwards
  • Make  step 14
    15
    Then fold the right corner in half to the left, leaving 7-8cm at the right corner, and cut it in the middle with a knife
  • Make  step 15
    16
    Open the sections opposite to each other and rush them up, and a cute heart shape appears
  • Make  step 16
    17
    Then make the flower shape (this shaping is also often used in pastry with filling) wrap the filling, close the filling, wash it on the panel, and roll it out slightly into a round shape (not too thin, otherwise you won't fit on the baking sheet)
  • Make  step 17
    18
    Use scissors to cut evenly four times (as shown in the picture)
  • Make  step 18
    19
    Then cut between each two knives to cut out a total of eight petals (as shown in the picture)
  • Make  step 19
    20
    Open the opposite incisions of the petals upwards in pairs
  • Make  step 20
    21
    Six heart-shaped ones are placed on a plate
  • Make  step 21
    22
    The flower-shaped ones took up more space, so I made four, and each loaf had to be spaced apart
  • Make  step 22

    Put the baking sheet into the oven and ferment twice until it is twice as big (see picture) Here is how I divide the two baking sheets: Place the baking sheet first on the top of the oven, use the microwave to brew two cups of hot water for 2 minutes each and place them in the baking sheet., close the oven door. Put the after-baked baking pan into the microwave and close the door. Because there is still residual heat after the water has just been poured, wait until the first pan is cooked, the second pan will be ready. The secondary fermentation time is about 40 minutes. If the water has not warmed well after changing temperatures, re-heat it.

    Put it in the preheated oven, and place it in the middle layer at 170 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes. The surface becomes golden. The flower-shaped ones are relatively thin and turn yellow in about 12 minutes; the heart-shaped ones take 15 minutes. The specific time depends on the temper of your own oven, which must be controlled flexibly.
