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,特别喜欢这个面包,但是配方上的 “动物性奶油(whipping cream)” 找不到阿,我在澳洲,超市卖cream的那边有罐装 dairy whipping cream,是否就是这个?谢谢

    毛毛妈,你好!自己也买了BLACK&DECKER的面包机 型号B6000C
    可里面的选项没有一个专门的揉面选项 要做面包只能选择做哪种面包
    点好程序,就开始做。如果我不想让它烤,如何判断它啥时候发酵好了
    可以拿出来整型 进烤箱烤呢?

    谢谢毛毛妈,我看了一下,有dough这个选项。明白了dough这个程序,它只负责揉面发面
    弄好了,就是自己拿出来整形,二次发酵,再烤是吧
