Pan de Coco

Pinoy variation of a dinner roll with a sweetened grated coconut filling,  served as a dessert or a snack. Dehydrated or fresh grated coconut cooked in sugar caramel is added in a bread as filling.

Ingredients :
  • 4 Cups bread flour
  • ¾ Cup warm milk
  • 2 Tablespoon yeast
  • ¼ Cup white sugar

  • 1 egg beaten with a splash of water (egg wash)
FILLINGS
  • 1 Cup brown sugar
  • 1 Cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon softened butter
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla
Directions :
  • Mix together warm water, yeast, sugar and eggs.
  • Mix  flour and salt,  add melted butter.
  • Combine egg mixture to the flour mixture, mix well to form a dough.
  • Turn dough into a well-floured surface and knead until soft and elastic.
  • Place the kneaded dough in a well-oiled bowl.
  • Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, and 3 to 4  roll in each pieces.
  • Form dough into a ball, flatten it by hand or rolling pin.
  • Place about 1 tablespoon of filling at the center.
  • Pinch all the side together and twist to seal the edges.
  • Place pinched side down on parchment paper.
  • Cover with cloth and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hours.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes, brush the top  with egg wash.
  • Bake for another 15 minutes or until top becomes golden brown.
Cooking Tips :
  1. If you are kneading by hand, you may have to add a bit more flour as needed so that it doesn’t stick all over the place.
  2. Use warm damped cloth or towel in covering the dough.
  3. Use all purpose flour as the substitute for bread flour.
