Ingredients
- 65 g Flour, bread (strong)

Method
- This makes one coco bread roll; multiply by 8 for a full batch.
- Warm the coconut milk and water slightly and dissolve the yeast and sugar in it; let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the flour and salt, then work in the butter and the yeast mixture to form a smooth, soft dough; knead for 8 minutes.

- Shape into a flattened oval, fold in half like a book, and place on a tray.
