Coconut Buns With Sweet And Milky Coconut Filling
Let’s prepare the bread dough by adding all the wet and dry ingredients to a bowl except the butter. Combine well into a dough with a spatula, then rub in the butter.
Flatten and shape the dough into a 16 x 8-inch rectangle, then roll it up and pinch the seam to seal. Place the seam against the counter, and cut the dough into equal pieces, like making cinnamon rolls.
Arrange the dough to a baking loaf pan, and cover it lightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm area for 45 minutes, or until nearly doubled.

Finally, prepare the condensed milk glaze by whisking the softened butter with condensed milk in a bowl. Brush the bread with the milk glaze as soon as you take it out of the oven, and serve it warm or room temperature.
As you can see, I omitted sugar in the bread dough ingredients since the bread is sweet enough with the condensed milk. However, if you prefer an intense taste, you can combine the ingredients with two tablespoons of sugar during the mixing.
Have some aluminum foil ready to cover the bread during the last 10 minutes of baking if it starts to brown too quickly.
Condensed Milk Pound Cake
Store the bread in an airtight plastic bag or container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate the bread to keep it fresh longer.These days, it seems like we need fun and delicious foods more than ever. I've been distracting myself with this recipe for vegan sweetened condensed milk bread. If you love King's Hawaiian bread and/or Chinese or Japanese milk bread but have issues with dairy and/or eggs, this easy vegan milk bread recipe is for you. Well, if you love coconut, this recipe may delight you too. (We ate three rolls before I noticed how the afternoon light made them extra lovely.)
You don’t have to follow a dairy-free or vegan diet to appreciate the soft, delicately sweet and poofy nature of these rolls, which you may bake in different sizes and shapes, I imagine.The mini loaves are cuties.
My inspiration was simple — after I posted the sweetened condensed coconut milk recipe, someone on Instagram asked what can you do with it aside from putting it in Vietnamese coffee drinks. I pointed the person to a post for Asian recipes using sweetened condensed milk. But then I got thinking about baking bread with condensed milk.
Coconut Pandan Rolls
Poking around the internet, I came across a sweetened condensed milk bread recipe from the Canadian arm of Eagle Brand, which owns Borden and Magnolia brands of sweetened condensed milk. Its recipe for “sweet milk bread” was egg-free. Condensed milk is magical for easy hacks like no-churn ice cream (see my book, Vietnamese Food Any Day, for the Viet coffee ice cream recipe on page 210).What would it do for an easy recipe like this one?
I've had a lot of fails with baking with condensed milk. It's got fat, sugar and viscosity. In cake batter, it can bake up as strange tunnels. But it's tasty stuff and I had a lot on hand.
Regarding the recipe from Eagle Brand, food manufacturer recipes often employ specific branded ingredients and vague, truncated instructions. This one wasn’t different, but I managed to make it work to create a dairy-free, vegan recipe that offers a delicate coconut quality to boot! It’s super easy, especially if you have a stand mixer, though you can make the dough by hand with extra elbow grease.
Simple Condensed Milk Toast Recipe
I didn’t know what to expect from the results, but the fluffy, soft, slight sweet rolls reminded me of a wholesome and easy version of King's Hawaiian bread or Japanese and Chinese-style milk bread. The dough is not as sweet as King's Hawaiian bread, which is great with me.
Conventional Japanese and Chinese-style milk breads depend on tangzhong -- a type of water roux introduced by cookbook author Yufen (Yvonne) Chen in her 2010 book, 65°C 湯種麵包
. Bread dough made with condensed milk does not require making tangzhong. If you want to try a Japanese milk bread roll recipe, here's one from King Arthur that involves making tangzhong.
Trinidad Coconut Sweet Bread
To make this vegan, I used my homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk (picture below). The milk, along with virgin coconut oil, added a tropical coconut-ty quality to the dough. If you don't have time to make the condensed milk, purchase it at health food grocers.
Regarding bread flour, it’s flour with a higher protein (gluten level). There are many options but I chose Gold Medal brand because it’s widely available in the States. It’s not fancy or artisanal but has worked well for Asian recipes.
I’m not a gluten-free bread baker, but you may try this vegan milk bread recipe with gluten-free bread flour mixes or blends to see what happens. Bob’s Red Mill and King Arthur offer bread mixes. Or get a primer from a book like Jeff Larsen’s award-winning

, which is loaded with tips for yeast bread and rolls in the last chapter. Check your library, indie bookshops and vendors like Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Shaping the little balls of dough requires a little technique that will payoff for you in many ways beyond this recipe. It’s called rounding and helps to create a uniform shape and spring action during baking. It can be hard to describe in words so I made a video to show you:

, and when I go to use premade pizza dough that I’ve purchased from the supermarket. I’ve rounded naan bread dough too.
Other than that, the recipe is pretty straight forward. I thought I’d have to redo the recipe to tweak things, but it’s ready for you. Go ahead and try it out. Tinker (bake two smallish loaves, or brush the tops with a honey wash finish, for example!) and report your experiences so we may all benefit!
We had the rolls with a salad and on another day, with soup. You could serve up the rolls, which look like tiny bread loaves to kids for fun. I'm an adult with childlike tendencies and I like the mini loaves too!

Use regular sweetened condensed milk and unsalted butter if a dairy-free result isn't important to you. See the main post for a video primer for shaping the rolls. Check out this sweetened condensed coconut milk recipe, if you want to go extra DIY.
