Instructions

  1. Warm the coconut milk to about 35 °C, then dissolve a spoonful of sugar and the yeast in it. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, the salt and the cinnamon.
  3. Add the yeasted mixture, the egg, the melted butter and the vanilla, then knead for 10 minutes until smooth and supple.
  4. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in size.
  5. Knock back the dough, shape it into a round loaf or a ring in a buttered tin, then let it rise again for 30 minutes.
  6. Bake at 180 °C for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and the centre sounds hollow when tapped.

Variations and tips

Rolled version. Roll out the dough, sprinkle with coconut and sugar, roll it into a log and cut snails before the second rise.

Using what you have. Dried yeast is available everywhere; otherwise use 8 g of baking powder mixed into the flour, with no rising time.
