Coconut Bread by Fitri D. // Rumah Manis

Fall season in my city mean we will have a lot of rain to comes ; what I like when rain comes is turn on the oven, bake something for everybody when their come home. It wasn't easy to make a perfect bread while the weather not so cooperative.  But making bread with water roux method or some call Tangzhong dough you will never feel the same, the result was so awesome.   And for filling,I  chose coconut filling ! what a surprise everybody loves it.
