Instructions

Mix 1 kg flour with 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.
Crumble 40 g fresh yeast (or 2 packets dry yeast) and mix with 2 tablespoons sugar until creamy.
Add the yeast mixture and 800 ml coconut milk to the flour, add desiccated coconut as desired, and stir for 2-3 minutes until combined.
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth with visible air bubbles when cut.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into three equal portions, shape each into a long roll, and braid them together.
Place the braid on a baking sheet and brush the top with egg yolk.
Place the baking sheet in a cold oven, set the temperature to 200°C (392°F), and bake for 40 minutes.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
