Equipment

  • 1 Kitchen Aid stand mixer with dough hook
  • 1 large baking sheet

Ingredients
  

Dough:

  • 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 ounce packet Rapid Rise yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cooled melted butter
  • 1 large room temperature egg lightly beaten
  • 10 ounces canned unsweetened coconut milk stirred well

Other:

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk

Instructions
 

Dough and Proof:

  • Mix together the flour, rapid rise yeast sugar and salt, keeping the salt on the other side of the flour from the yeast.
  • Stir together the melted butter, beaten egg and coconut milk.
  • Add to flour and mix until a dough ball forms in the KA mixer (fitted with dough hook).
  • Scrape down the sides and continue to mix until smooth, elastic and lightly tacky.
  • Turn out into a lightly oiled bowl and proof at 100F in a draft-free place or lightly covered with plastic for one hour or until doubled.

Shaping and Baking:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • While the oven heats, divide the dough into eight parts.
  • Stretch each into a smooth ball with ends tucked under.
  • Then pat down on a silpat sheet with a little flour.
  • Roll into a circle with a very lightly floured pin and using a silpat brush, brush the dough with melted butter.
  • Fold in half and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Continue with the others.
  • Spritz lightly with nonstick oil and cover loosely with plastic.
  • Proof another twenty minutes until they become a little puffy.
  • Using a silicone brush, brush the tops lightly with the bit of coconut milk.
  • Then remove plastic and bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
