Water-roux -

1. Whisk to combine the 15g flour and 75 ml water in a pot.

4. Leave to cool.
5. When cooled to room temperature, add 85g water, 30g of egg ( lightly beaten ).
6. Combine. Set aside.

2. Add final roux mixture.
3. Combine to bring the ingredients together.
4. Add butter.
5. Transfer the mixture to the bread machine.
6. Set to dough mode to knead and let the dough ferment, about 1.5 hr.

2. Whisk. Sift in 50g cake flour.
3. Whisk again.
4. Transfer the topping to a piping bag.

Coconut filling –

1. Melt 4 Tbsp ( or 1 tiny block ) of palm sugar.
2. Add 1 cup of shredded coconut and 1/2 tsp of salt.
3. Cook until the filling is well mixed.
4. Leave to cool.


Assembly of buns –
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Grease the baking tray and worktop.
3. Make out 10 equal portions of dough and coconut filling.
4. Flatten out the dough and fill it with the coconut filling. Lightly grease your hands if the dough is hard to handle.
5. Seal the bun , lightly pat the top of the bun with a floured hand and return it to the prepared tray to rest, 30 minutes. This helps the coffee piping to adhere to the surface later on.
