Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl add 1 teaspoon active instant dry yeast, 2.5 tablespoon sugar and ½ cup warm milk. Mix well and let it stand for 5 mins until the yeast is activated. In a mixing bowl add 2 cups all-purpose flour & ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix it well. Pour the yeast mixture and roughly mix it with a spoon. Add 1.5 tablespoon butter and 2 teaspoon oil. Knead it until the dough is soft. Let it rest for 1-2 hours. Meanwhile, prepare the sweet coconut filling – dry roast 1 cup fresh grated coconut in a pan until it is warm and slightly toasty. Add it to a mixing bowl with ½ cup tutti frutti, 4-5 finely chopped cherries, 8 -10 each of roughly broken cashews and almonds with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Now add 1 tablespoon sugar finely powdered along with ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder. Mix everything well together. Now punch down the doubled-up dough and cut it into two parts equally. On a baking sheet, roll a part of dough. Place the prepared sweet coconut mixture at the center, spreading it evenly leaving about ½ an inch gap at the edges. Now roll the other part of the dough slightly thinner and larger than the first part. Carefully place it over the top of the filling. Close & seal the edges tightly. Let the prepared bun raise for about 30-45 mins in a warm place and let the dough raise again. Meanwhile preheat the oven at 170°C for 20 mins. Once the bun has almost doubled up, make a slit at the center using a sharp knife. Brush the dough with milk. Bake at 170°C for 20-25 mins until it is golden brown both at top and bottom. Remove from oven. Once cooled down, cut into slices.
