Combine warm water and yeast in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt together.

Add the yeast mixture, coconut milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions.

Flatten each portion and place a spoonful of grated coconut in the center; fold the dough over to seal.

Shape into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover the rolls and let rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
