Directions

  1. Place all the ingredients for the dough in a large bowl, along with the melted butter, and mix well. Then, knead until a smooth ball forms. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1 hour, or until it has tripled in size.
  2. Prepare the filling: mix the coconut with the plant-based cream and condensed milk until it becomes translucent, then turn off the heat and mix with the sticky rice flour. Let it cool, then divide into 8 portions. Also, divide the dough into 8 portions.
  3. Flatten each piece of dough, fill it with the filling, then spread it out. Fold the dough in half and cut it with a knife, but don’t cut all the way through. ≈ 8 min
  4. Reassemble the two cut pieces and gently press together to form a heart shape. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rest for another 40 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) for 15 minutes. Brush the bread with the remaining beaten egg, then bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
