How to Make Coconut Cream-Filled Bread: A Step-by-Step Guide

Coconut cream-filled bread, a soft, fluffy bun with a luscious coconut center, is a beloved treat. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients: For the dough: 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 5g salt, 3g instant yeast, 1 egg, 120ml warm milk, 30g butter. For the filling: 100g coconut flakes, 50g condensed milk, 50ml heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Steps:

1. Make the dough: Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add egg and warm milk, knead until smooth. Incorporate softened butter, knead for 10 minutes until elastic. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.

2. Prepare filling: Whisk condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla. Fold in coconut flakes; chill.

3. Shape the bread: Punch down the dough, divide into 8 balls. Roll each into a circle, place 1 tbsp filling in the center, seal edges tightly.

4. Proof and bake: Place buns on a tray, proof for 30 minutes. Brush with milk, bake at 180°C for 15-18 minutes until golden. Cool before serving.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of coconut extract to the dough. Enjoy these buns fresh for the best texture!
