Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add coconut milk to the dry ingredients.

Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Fold the dough over to create a pocket and place on a baking sheet.

Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
