Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
Warm the coconut milk slightly, then gradually pour it over the flour while kneading.
Add the softened butter and knead for 10 minutes until you get a smooth, elastic dough.
Let it rise for an hour in a warm spot, covered with a tea towel, until it has doubled in size.
Divide into 6 balls, flatten them slightly and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Let rest for 20 minutes, brush with beaten egg, then bake at 200 °C for 18 to 20 minutes, until nicely golden.
Let cool a little on a rack before enjoying.
