Coco bread recipe

Ingredients

 2 packets yeast
 1 tsp sugar
 1/4 cup warm water
 1 medium egg
 1 cup warm milk
 1 tsp salt
 3.5 cups white flour
 1/2 cup melted butter

Preparation

 Mix the yeast, sugar and water together.
 Beat the egg and stir in to the mixture.
 Stir in the milk and salt.








 Stir in 2 cups of the flour.










 Slowly add more flour, stop when the mixture becomes stiff.
 Knead the dough until it is smooth - this should take about 10 minutes!









 Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and some of the melted butter.
 Roll the dough around the bowl until it is entirely coated in butter.









 Cover with a damp towel for 1 hour (this will allow the mixture to rise).










 










 Divide the dough in to 10 pieces and roll each piece in to a circle, about 1/2 cm thick.










 Brush the dough with melted butter then fold in half.

Cooking

 Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
 Place folded pieces on a well greased sheet and place on the bottom rack of the oven.









 Bake until golden brown (this should take around 15 minutes).
