​How to make Pan de Coco using a Mixer / Kneader

• Place all dry ingredients including yeast into a bowl except 1/2 cup all purpose flour. Or you can also rise the yeast in warm water which I highly recommend. Add yeast in lukewarm water. Add 1 tbsp sugar . Stir and let it sit. Wait for 10 minutes to bubble.  Click here for procedure & tips for a successful yeast.
• Attach bowl and dough hook. Raise mixer bowl. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 15 seconds or until the dry ingredients are combined.
• Combine all liquid ingredients then add to flour mixture and mix 1-2 minutes longer.

• Continuing on speed 2, gently add all purpose flour.  Mix until dough starts to clean sides of bowl, about 2 minutes.
• Lower bowl on mixer and remove dough from the bowl and dough hook. 
• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for at least an hour.
• After an hour, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
