In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and warm water.
Knead the mixture into a smooth dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let it relax for 10 minutes.
Shape the Dough:
Roll the dough into a long strip on a floured surface.
Cut into eight equal pieces and shape each piece into a round ball.
Prepare the Filling:
In a separate bowl, mix shredded coconut, milk powder, and sugar. Set aside.
Assemble the Buns:
Roll each dough ball into a rectangular shape and brush the surface lightly with water.
Spread a generous amount of the coconut filling evenly across the rectangle.
Roll the dough tightly from top to bottom and pinch the seam to seal.
Create the Swirl:
Place the smooth side of the roll facing up. Use a knife to cut a slit in the center, revealing the swirl pattern inside.
Proof the Buns:
Place the buns in a steamer tray, cover, and let them proof in a warm place for 30 minutes until they double in size.
Steam to Perfection:
Steam the buns over high heat for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let them rest in the steamer for 5 minutes before opening the lid to avoid wrinkling.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm and enjoy the fluffy texture and sweet coconut flavor!
