Coconut Rolls


Image may contain: dessert and food

I saw a recipe online for coconut rolls that was very interesting....Very similar to cinnamon rolls.....So I searched some more online and tweaked a few recipes changed up the filling....And it was wonderful
Warning in advance.....This dough will make about 40 to 45 rolls..... Something I did not realise because most recipes said 12 - 15.....Maybe I rolled my dough out too thin, but the more the merrier.....So I took half the rolls to a birthday party that I was going to.
For the dough
1 can of coconut milk (400 ml)
1 packet of dry ready to use yeast (11gms)
6 egg yolks
6 - 7 cups of flour (this depends of how how is needed)
2 cups of melted butter
3/4th cup fine sugar (or powdered sugar)
Half a tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
Coconut essence a few drops (or vanilla + almond essence if you don't have coconut)
For the filling
Butter
Brown sugar
Desicated coconut
1 egg beaten to brush over the rolls before they go in the oven
For the dough
Warm the coconut milk slightly and then mix all the wet ingredients together add the yeast and the 6 cups of flour and bring it all together to make a sticky dough...Then add the 7th cup of flour bit by bit and knead to form a non sticky dough....Do not knead too much, just to bring it all together
Leave to rise for one to two hours depending on how warm it is.....The dough should have almost doubled in size
Knock back and divide the dough into 3 portions... Roll out each portion to about half cm thickness spread butter even all over then sprinkle the brown sugar and desicated coconut and spread evenly now make a tight roll of the dough and cut into one inch rounds...
Arrange the rounds on a baking tray and brush with egg wash
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 170 degree celecius
