Proof the yeast by adding warm milk, yeast, a tablespoon of sugar, and some salt into a bowl. Cover for at least 5 minutes until the yeast is active.

Add flour, more sugar (to taste), egg, and melted butter to the proofed yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.

Fold in raisins and chopped coconut, mixing until well combined.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and not sticky, about 5-10 minutes.

Place the kneaded dough into a bowl, rub a little butter or oil on top, and cover to prevent drying. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

After rising, punch down the dough, knead it a little, and cut it into balls.

Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them into a frying pan (or any pan) until all dough is used.

Cover the pan and let the dough balls rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until doubled in size.

Mix egg, water, a little milk, and vanilla extract together and brush this mixture over the risen dough balls.

Preheat the oven while the dough is rising for the second time, then bake the bread until golden brown and aromatic.
