- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch or cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water

- 4 cups bread/all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 2 tsp salt

- 1 & 1/4 cup warm milk or water
- 2 tbsp softened butter
- 2 tbsp shortening
- In a saucepan, add the evaporated milk, condensed milk, sugar, salt and the buko.
- Bring to the stove. Cook over medium heat until it comes to boil. If your buko is a little bit hard, boil it until its a bit softened for about 10 minutes.
- Combine the starch and the water, then add it to the buko mixture and lastly add the butter. Turn off the heat and set it aside to cool down.
- In a mixing bowl, add the warm milk and the 1 tbsp of granulated sugar, follow the yeast and stir.

- Transfer the dough into a greased bowl and cover. Let it rise for 1 hr.
- Divide the dough into 45g each. Shape each dough into a ball and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Flatten each dough into 5" long, add 25g of the filling into the middle fold and pinch the ends. ( tips to prevent the bread from unfolding/opening flatten the ends very thin and brush with egg wash.)
- Let it rest for 20 minutes, then bake at the pre-heated over 350F for 20 minutes.
- Let it cool down for a few minutes. And enjoy.
