Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • OTG & Baking tray

Ingredients
  

For Making Dough

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour 240 grams
  • 1½ teaspoon Instant Dry Yeast
  • 3 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ cup Warm Milk + 2 tablespoon of brushing on top
  • 1 tablespoon Butter melted

For Coconut Filling

  • 1½ cup Fresh Coconut
  • ½ cup Tutti fruity
  • ¼ cup Cashews
  • 10 no Candied Cherries chopped
  • ½ cup Sugar or more
  • 2 tablespoon Butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom

Instructions
 

  • Start by making the dough. Take flour, sugar, salt, yeast in a mixing bowl. Pour warm milk over it and knead it into a slightly sticky dough. Now drizzle some butter over it and mix well. Cover and let it sit in a warm place of 1 to 2 hours till it doubles in size.
  • Now lets make the filling. Take coconut and sugar in a blender and blend them till it resembles a coarse mixture. In a bowl, add coconut mix, tutti fruity, cherries, nuts, cardamom powder and butter. Mix that well, filling is done.
  • Line a baking tray with foil and grease it well with butter. Once the dough has risen punch it back down and knead well for a min. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
  • Take one dough out and roll it into a round circle. Place the circle on the baking tray, spread the filling all over the dough circle. Now dip your fingers in water and moisten the edges. Now roll another dough into a round circle. Place that circle over the moistened edges and press with your fingers to seal them well. Now dip your fingers again in water and moisten the edges, fold the around the sides so it is well sealed. Leave it to rest for 10 mins.
  • In the meantime preheat the oven to 200 degree C / 400 degree F.
  • Now Use a  knife to make some slashes over the top so the steam can escape. Brush the top with some milk and bake it in oven for 25 to 35 mins. Dont over bake.
  • Once it is done, remove from oven and brush the top with some melted butter. Cover the top with a damp cloth so the crust will become soft. Once it is cooled, slice and serve.
  • If you have any leftover, keep it in fridge. Reheat in microwave for 30 seconds or so while serving.

Notes

  • Make sure you use warm milk for kneading the dough. If you use cold milk, then the yeast won't activate. If you use hot milk, then you will kill the yeast.
  • If you are not sure that your yeast is fresh, then activate the yeast first and then add it to flour. To activate yeast,  Add yeast to warm milk along with some sugar and leave it for 5 mins or so. You will see the mix will become foamy, now add this to the flour and continue the process.
  • I added extra sugar in the bread dough, this will make it more tasty.
  • I used fresh coconut in the filling to make it fresh. You could also use dessicated coconut too.
  • You could use whatever nuts you like in the filling.

Storage Suggestions

If you are using fresh coconut, keep the bread in fridge if you have any leftover.  so it wont get spoiled. you can reheat it in microwave for 30 seconds or so when serving, it will turn fresh.
