- 2 packs 2 -100 grams shredded coconut
- Raisin filling
- 2 packs 2-20 g cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups of butter
- 8 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
Instructions
- Sift the flour, salt, nutmeg, spice and yeast together.
- Add the grated coconut.
- Note: You do not have to squeeze the grated coconut dry.
- Whisk the egg and add water to it to make 1 cup.
- Add 1 tbsp of cream or milk to the mixture.
- Mix the liquid well. Then add the liquid to the dry ingredients.
- Blend well and knead to a soft dough. Place the dough in a well greased container. Cover and leave to rest for about 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- Allow the dough to rest. Now it is time to prepare the filling.
- Here are two types of delicious filling for this coconut roll.
- The shredded coconut is my personal favourite.
- Note: If you are preparing half the amount with cinnamon and half with raisins, you can use half the amount of ingredients for the filling. Here is how to prepare the filling.
- The Filling
- Cinnamon-coconut filling:
- Place the butter in a small sauce pan. Melt the butter and sugar together. Add the cinnamon. Mix the ingredients over a low heat – do not let it burn. Remove and add the shredded coconut. Mix well. Set aside.
- Cinnamon-raisin filling:
- Place the butter in a small sauce pan. Melt the butter and sugar together. Add the cinnamon and the raisins. Mix well over low heat. Remove and set aside.
- Now to continue the recipe
- cut the dough in four.
- Roll out each at a time to about 1/2 “. Spread the filling on top with a spatula.
- As you can see the coconut flake filling is a lot easier to spread on the dough.
- Hold one end of the flattened dough and roll onto itself to form a long log. Press in the edges and slice, every two inches along the log.
- The rest of the rolls are placed side by side, about 1 inch apart to allow for rising while it is baked.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden.
