Raspberry custard rolls

These were absolutely delicious, beautiful, and not entirely unhealthy. A good quality raspberry jam is key here. 

Ingredients

3.5 tbsp butter

0.5 cup milk

0.25 cup water

1 tsp yeast

2.25 cup flour

1 tsp ground cardamom

0.5 tsp salt

200g raspberry jam

0.25 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

vanilla custard from 1 cup of milk

Preparation

Bloom the yeast in the water. Add the sugar, butter melted, and milk warmed.

Add in the flour and salt and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Allow to rise covered in a warm place until about doubled in size.

Roll out into an 18-inch on one side rectangle, about 0.25-inch-thick. Spread with the warm jam and sprinkle on the coconut flakes.

Roll up starting on the 18-inch side. Cut into 9 rolls with a floss. Place the rolls into a 9-by-9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Allow to rise until puffy and the dough does not spring back when pressed.

Dimple the middle and spoon the 1 cup of vanilla custard (I made Bird's custard with vanilla extract added) into the dimples. 

Bake in a preheated 375F oven for about 20 minutes, until rolls are light brown. Cool on a cookie rack.
