  • 2 tsp salt
  • 40 g yeast, fresh or 2 sachets of dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 800 ml coconut milk
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Desiccated coconut as desired

Braid with a twist – with coconut milk

Mix the flour with salt. Crumble the yeast and mix with the sugar until liquid. Combine the flour with the yeast mixture and well-stirred coconut milk (add desiccated coconut if desired) and knead vigorously into a smooth dough (air bubbles should be visible when cutting into the dough). Let the dough rise for 1 hour. Then divide it into three portions, shape them into long rolls, and braid them. Brush with egg yolk, place in a still-cold oven, set the oven to 200°C, and bake for about 40 minutes.
