PAO DE DEUS & CINNAMON BUNS FOR THE WEEKEND

First of all, I would like to say thank you to the German Bakeira in Berlin, Germany for the great recipe PAO DE DEUS....translated BREAD of GOD!

I hope my Canadian Friends love it too.. easy to make and easy to fall in love with it.

It is almost a mixture of buns/rolls and the real killer is the topping of this great yummmy coconut crust.

the end result looks like this:

                                                                Delicious to the TASTE!

Here are the ingredients:

for the dough:

500 g flour (all-purpose)

150 g sugar

2 eggs

30 g yeast

100 g butter (room temperture)

250 ml milk

for the crust:

1 egg

80 g coconut flake

2 tbsp sugar

icing sugar as the finishing touch (only if you like)

Pre-heat your oven to 200 C/392 F

Part 1:

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk. Flour, sugar, eggs and butter mix everything well together.

Add slowly the milk and knead it to form a smooth dough. Cover the doug for 1 hour in plastic wrap.

Part 2:

Divide the dough in half and then in quarter. Each roll should weight not more than 100 g and form a roll. Once you done with rolling. Let it sit for another hour, cover it up with a damp towel or plastic wrap.

Part 3:

Prepare the coconut crust. Mix all the above ingredients together. Brush your rolls with milk and then top them with the coconut crust. Pre-heat your oven to 200 C/392 F

Then bring the temperature down to 180 C/357 F .... bake your rolls for about 20 min.

Voila...DONE!
