Add the yeast mixture, warm 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 in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Punch down the risen dough and incorporate coconut and raisins.

Divide the dough into small balls and shape them into rolls.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving.
