Ingredients
- 2 ½ tbsp coconut oil
- 1 ½ tbsp quick yeast
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- ⅓ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 ½ - 3 cups flour
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine melted coconut oil, egg yolks, salt, sugar, and coconut milk.
- Add quick yeast to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved.
- Sift in the flour. Begin by pouring half of the flour into the bowl and use a spoon to knead the dough. Gradually add the remaining flour. Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a floured surface and continue kneading with your hands. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Grease a bowl with oil. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in the greased bowl. Cover the bowl with cling film and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in volume. Divide it into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Then, shape each ball into an oval and fold it in half.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the bread rolls on the tray and let them rise for 15-20 minutes, covering them with a towel. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the oven for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the bread rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these soft and tender bread rolls while they’re still warm!
