This is the oven version of the rice cooker coconut buns which I have shared last week. The hazy condition has improved, so I can start baking using my oven.
Happy to see this soft bun with moist grated coconut filling baked to golden :P

Hi NgaiLeng, as my oven is small n if I want to double d recipe can I prepare all d bread dough together n then bake portion by portion ? Will it affect d dough texture if in room temperature longer than usual ?
ReplyDeleteHi Sing Yee Fong, I think this shouldn't be a problem if you prepare the dough at one go. While you're working on the first portion, you can keep the second portion in the fridge to slow down the proofing process. But you must seal the dough tightly to prevent it from drying up in the fridge :)
DeleteFor d second portion do I put d coconut filling , shape it then put into d fridge ?
DeleteI think it is easier to store a bowl of dough than a tray of shaped dough in the fridge :)
DeleteYup your are rite. Tks for sharing .
DeleteThank you Rachel for your comment :)
ReplyDeleteHi ngai leng, what steps should I follow if I don't have a bm?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance :)
Hi wei kang, you can either handknead the dough or use a stand mixer to prepare the dough.
DeleteFor handkneading, you can refer to the steps in my sweet milk bun recipe

Sorry I'm not familiar with stand mixer so can't give good advice on this :)
Hi I don't have a BM .Can I use KA ? Please advice?Thank you .
ReplyDeleteHi, yes, you can use KA, but sorry I can't give you good advice as I'm not familiar with it :)
DeleteHi can I use KA to knead the dough?
ReplyDeleteHi Felicia, yes, you can use KA, but I'm not familiar with it :)
Deletewhat can I say?? Ngai Leng you are so talented and all your bakes look professional!!
ReplyDeleteAll i can say is... GREAT !!by the way, is this coconut bun soft and for how many days? Always a concern for me when I bake, hate it when bread turns dry and hard the next day
Thank you Amy for your support. As the filling carries some moisture in it, it's hard to have a dry crumb for this recipe. The buns were so yummy, my family finished them within the same day. So, there's no problem of a dry bread :)
Deletethat was me, Amy Law, your ardent supporter

ReplyDeleteHi Goh NgaiLeng, so tis bread only need to proof once aft kneading in the bm?
ReplyDeleteHi Hwee Yong, the first proofing is done in the BM. So you only need to do the second proofing after shaping and before baking :)
