3: In a medium size mixing bowl, mix ingredients 4 and 5 as the coconut filing.
4: When the dough doubles in volume, gently knead a few times on a floured surface and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each piece into a 3 mm thick, 16×24 cm rectangle. Evenly spread half of the coconut filling on each piece, then sprinkle ¼ cup raisins. Cut horizontally into eight stripes that are 2×24 cm. Loosely roll each stripe from one end to the other. Place eight coconut buns on one baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat for the other half of the dough. Cover both baking sheets with food wrap and leave in a warm place for 1 hour until the volume is doubled.
5: Preheat oven at 350F, then brush the buns with beaten egg. Bake one sheet with eight coconut buns in the oven for 15 minutes. Repeat for the 2nd baking sheet.
6: Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
7: Store coconut buns in a lidded container inside a freezer. Reheat in a microwave oven for 30 seconds before serving.

    毛毛妈,请教,这个面团是不是很软?发完面后我发现面团太软了,整形太痛苦了,加了很多手粉在手上才能整形:(

    毛毛妈,
    your blog is pretty clean and organized.like it.
    here is my comment about how to make bread from all websites in Chinese.
    根据我的经验,
    我敢说, 用这种方法做的面包,一凉,立马变硬,无论你是否放进密封的袋子与否.
    放与不放汤种, 面包的湿度没有太大的区别. 最重要的是, 这种现代快速发效的方法决定了这一特点

    • vimi says:

      正准备上来问问呢~
      不管我用什么方子,用什么料,面包就是刚出炉的时候好吃,第2天就不好吃了。请问有什么改良的方法?
      我的面包洞洞比较大,不知道是不是发过头了?还是拍气拍的不彻底?
      谢谢~~

    to vimi:
    Using traditional ferment (Fa Xiao)is the only way to avoid the bread stale.
    ferment should start from tiny piece. ferment is not a few of hours, it is days.
    I use 2-3 days to finish whole ferment. if you use this way, you could keep your bread
    for days freshly. But you have to be a serious bread maker to do this.
    I use this way for years. I never have any problems as bread becomes stale or hard.
    you tube has examples for this ferment.
    how to make good bread and cakes. it is better to refer websides in English
    they have many good examples for making good bread and cakes.

    good luck

      which English websites?Most Homemade breads turn stale or hard after getting cold.
      Could you share your method here?

        to jing:
        I treid to post some english links, but this website filters them out.
        Just try to register some free :loaf, chef websites etc. they have many discussions about how to keep bread fresh long time and from stale.
        in this website, Lucy’s bread making process expands the ferment time, I bet her bread could last longer.
        but as my mentioned before, traditional homemade takes long
        time. I got a dough starter from my american co-worker several years ago, I started from there based on her processes for 2-3 days to finish.
        I used this way for both “man tou” and bread. both of them could last long time without using micowave or reheating . I never rewarm them

        Please post your recipe here.

        thanks

      毛妈,成功了哦,太好吃了,都没等到冷,哈哈哈哈哈。不过有个小小的不足,就是底部不是很干很脆,估计是因为我没有烤盘纸,而是用锡纸代替的关系吧,不管怎么样,非常好吃,太感谢了。
