In a small mixing bowl add 1 teaspoon active instant dry yeast, 2.5 tablespoon sugar and ½ cup warm milk. Mix well and let it stand for 5 mins until the yeast is activated.
In a mixing bowl add 2 cups all-purpose flour & ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix it well.
Pour the yeast mixture and roughly mix it with a spoon. Add 1.5 tablespoon butter and 2 teaspoon oil.
Knead it until the dough is soft, smooth and springy.
Let it rest for 1-2 hours in a warm place until it has doubled up in volume.
Meanwhile, prepare the sweet coconut filling – dry roast 1 cup fresh grated coconut in a pan until it is warm and slightly toasty.
Add it to a mixing bowl with ½ cup tutti frutti, 4-5 finely chopped candied cherries, 8 -10 each of roughly broken cashews and almonds with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
Now add 1 tablespoon sugar finely powdered along with ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder.
Mix everything well together.
Now punch down the doubled-up dough and cut it into two parts equally.
On a baking sheet, roll a part of dough about 7” inch dia of about ½ cm thickness.
Place the prepared sweet coconut mixture at the center, spreading it evenly leaving about ½ an inch gap at the edges.
Now roll the other part of the dough slightly thinner and larger than the first part. I rolled it about 10” in dia.
Carefully place it over the top of the filling.
Close & seal the edges tightly.
Let the prepared bun raise for about 30-45 mins in a warm place and let the dough raise again.
Meanwhile preheat the oven at 170°C for 20 mins. Once the bun has almost doubled up, make a slit at the center using a sharp knife/blade. Brush the dough with milk.
Bake at 170°C for 20-25 mins until it is golden brown both at top and bottom. Remove from oven.
Once cooled down, cut into slices of desired size. Serve warm or cold with a cup of coffee/tea.
