Pan De Coco

Pan De Coco

I love Filipino bread, and Pan de Coco is one of them; It's very popular in the Philippines and as Filipino's it's one bread that you crave sometimes. Leaving the country doesn't mean that you left all those good stuff that you used to eat. So, in my personal experience, I become so resourceful and tried many recipes. Eventually, I finally got it right. This is what we call... when craving strike!!

 Ingredients: ( Dough)
4-5 cups of flour
1 pack yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 1/4 cup milk
  


  Directions:
1) Mix the flour and yeast in bowl. Set aside;
2) Heat and stir the milk,sugar, butter and salt  just until warm and butter almost melts.
3) Add to the dry ingredient, along with the eggs, mix it well. 
4) Knead the dough in clean surface. Put it bowl and let it rise for 1-2 hours.

Filling
Sherred coconut
Brown sugar
For best result- mix the coconut and sugar overnight.

The next thing you need to do are;
1.) Slice the dough into small ball. Then using the rolling pin roll the dough as thin as you can.
2.) Put the filling on the center and sealed the dough.
3.) Put the dough into greased baking dish and let it rise for 1 more hour. Just like on the picture.
4.) Brush egg wash on the top before baking. 325 degrees 10-12 minutes; until they're golden brown.
