Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl add lukewarm water,beaten egg, coconut milk, melted shortening, sugar, instant yeast, salt and finely chopped coconut. Mix with a wooden spoon until well incorporated.

Step 2

Add in half the flour and continue to mix till smooth. Start to add in more of the flour slowly. When it becomes to hard to mix in the bowl, pour out onto a flat surface. Continue to add more flour and begin to knead the dough for 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

You may need a little more flour or you may not knead in all the flour. It depends on the dough. You do not want the dough to stick to your hands, but you don't want it to be dry either.

Step 4

After kneading, add about 1 T of oil to a bowl and add the dough. Flip over a few times to lightly coat all sides of the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for an hour or till the dough doubles in bulk.

Step 5

Cut dough into two equal pieces. Take one piece and cut into 16 pieces. Roll; the first eight pieces of dough into a ball and place into the bottom of a 4 1/2 x 8 greased loaf pan.

Step 6

Now, roll out the other 8 pieces of dough and place them on top of the other 8 pices. Do the same with the other pice of dough and you should end up with two loaves. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for about an hour or until the dough reaches about 1 inch from the top of the pan.

Step 7

To make the topping you need to add the flour, buter, sugar, and coconut. Using your fingers mix till the imxture becomes a crumble. In a separatebowl combine the egg white and T of water. Beat with a wire whisk till foamy. Bursh the tops of the loaves with the foam and then add the crumble topping. Place into a 350 degree preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes.
