Pull Apart Coconut Rolls - Scalded Flour Method

Baking Partner's challenge this month was all about bread baking. Swathi suggested two methods for getting super soft home made bread. One is the Asian Tangzhong method and the other is the Scandinavian Scalded Flour method. I already made a White bread using Tangzhong method and got great result. So for the scalded flour method I tried these coconut pull apart rolls. The rolls were very soft and the coconut filling added a new texture to the soft roll. PK loves sweet rolls and he is a fan of the coconut buns available at bakeries here. As I have already tried making coconut buns- bakery style also known as Dilkush or Dilpasand, this time I tried it out as pull apart rolls and it was a great hit. For the next three days I had no problem of searching for a snack as PK and Sruti enjoyed these rolls a lot. Linking this to Yeastspotting
