Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large potato
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup + 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 2½ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • A drop of vanilla and/or coconut extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potato by peeling and cubing it. Boil until tender and reserve about ¼ cup of cooking water to activate the yeast.
  2. Once cooled to around 110°F, mix the reserved water with yeast and a tablespoon of sugar; let it sit until bubbly.
  3. In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes with milk, butter, salt, and remaining sugar; heat gently.
  4. Combine the potato mixture with the activated yeast in a large bowl. Add an egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in flour until you have a slightly sticky dough; let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
  6. Roll out dough into an 18-inch square, brush with melted coconut oil, sprinkle sugar and shredded coconut on top, then roll tightly into a log.
  7. Slice into equal pieces and arrange in a greased baking dish; let them rise again while preheating the oven to 375°F.
  8. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown; cool slightly before glazing with a mixture of powdered sugar and heavy cream.
