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.
