Hi there ...yummy to d max ....just a quick question...did u allow the dough to rise again for the second time after filling?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Thank you! Nooe you dont need to allow it to rise a second time after filling. You can if you want though. The bread is so thin anyways I have never noticed too much of a differenc.e

Thanks for your uploading i back an it come out so nice me an my daughter eating she. Say mom i want more

[@Mzgtnycgal]

Hi Matthew nice video did you extract the milk from the coconut after you grated it ? How did you prevent it from getting liquidy ?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

I did not extract the milk. If you do, then the filling will be too dry and then it won't be juicy on the inside. To make sure it doesn't get too liquidy, you don't overfill the salara.

[@Mzgtnycgal]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking Ok Matthew I will try this very soon thank you for Sharing 😊

Do you have a recipe for cheese roll? Thank you

[@dianackiam9017]

Looked delicious.. I have a question after you put the filling on the dough.. do you allow the dough to rise for 30 mins or you just put it in the oven to bake..

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You can let it raise a little bit.

[@dianackiam9017]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking thank you

[@thehypnoticbeauty]

dude i have that same shirt lol red bread looks good too

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Lol cool! Thanks for watching

[@shanazmohamad5603]

Does this dough makes two portions?

[@jennyr1238]

Great recipe! Question though. I made the tennis roll dough and the coconut with frozen coconut. Was that dough supposed to make two logs or one? I made one...rolled it out to maybe 16"x10"... And it's huge...like really fat

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You can make a huge one or two small ones. Depends on preference

[@ma33rgaming]

Nice video; this looks really good! About how much Salara does this make?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

This will make 2 rolls of salara.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Well anywhere from 2-4 depending on the size you make them.

[@mlela4752]

I am making salara watching this video.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Yay! Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@indianflower585]

Hi Matthew, my salara become hard. I didn’t used shortening because in Holland we don’t have that. What can I use to make it soft?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You probably have to make the dough softer, don't make it too much (because that dries it out) and also you need to wrap it up once it cools or else it can also dry out. You do not need the shortening.

[@nikaward6048]

Aaaaaaaaw thank you very much matthew for reading my mind lol xoxox. Ok i just need measurement for coconut mixture please. It's not in description book.

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Yes I will add them in right now.

[@shanazmohamad5603]

When you punch down the dough do you need to cover it and wait again for 45 minutes? Or one time is enough?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

If you have the time you can let it sit for like 30 ish minutes. But you don't have to

[@RobTheMover]

Can you provide a link for how you grate your fresh coconut? Is it just fresh coconut grated?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

@@2y66 Oh ok nice!

[@DC-vw7yf]

Nice! Wonder what would the instructions be to make them into individual rolls in terms of amount of dough for each roll, how much tablespoons of filling per roll and baking temperature and time?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

About 2 cups filling per roll. Bake 15-20 min at 350 degrees.

[@DC-vw7yf]

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 Thanks Matthew. I was thinking of rolls the size of tennis rolls. You wrote 2 cups, would you have meant 2 tablespoons?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

@@DC-vw7yf Oh ok. If you want to do individual tennis rolls then you can do the 2 tbsp. Sorry I thought you meant for each log. I actually have a recipe where I've done that before with the coconut mixture and made individual salara rolls. I'll share it very soon.

@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 Yes please! I am referring to individual salara rolls! I look forward to that particular vid. Thank you for always replying!

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

@@DC-vw7yf You are welcome! I can actually make them next week because I will be home for spring break. Do you mean just stuff a ball of dough with the filling or do you mean roll out a small piece of dough and fill? (Like tiny versions of what I made in this video?)

[@alanaallicock85]

Hey I tried this recipes and theres a problem I'm not sure but I find that when I'm stiring the sugar in the coconut ita not melting and getting moist like yours. Its getting dry instead. Why is that?

[@omaamritsingh5144]

I think you have your stove too high so it dries the coconut too fast. Slowly toast and the juices will flow.

[@devicakhan6590]

I always make salara you don’t have to cook the coconut just mix the ingredients together it will be fine

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Different methods.

[@sihamali2990]

Can we use frozen grated coconut?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

Yes you can.

[@sashapersaud1085]

Can I use packaged coconut flakes? Sweetened or unsweetened?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

It would probably be too dry. I would maybe reconstitute it with a little bit of water

[@sashapersaud1085]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking okay thank you!

[@angelenacheddie]

Sasha Persaud did you end up using the packaged coconut flakes? How did it come out if you did?

I was just looking for the TF2 theme but I found this instead

[@yasminebensai7876]

Can I use coconut flakes instead?

[@matthewsguyanesecooking4601]

You can, but it will not be the same texture on the inside and you will have to adjust the sugar (being that the coconut flakes are usually sweetened). I recommend putting the coconut flakes in the food processor to make the pieces a bit smaller to get the texture similar to that of the freshly grated coconut.

[@yasminebensai7876]

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking thank you! I saw that we need to add water to the flakes to make them moist
