- Add in eggs and mix until combined.
- Add ½ flour and put yeast on top of flour pile. Mix for 20 seconds. Scrape bowl. Add the rest of the flour. Adding a little more flour if needed until dough barely pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is not too sticky.
- Knead dough 2 minutes.
- Put dough in an oiled bowl and let it rest, covered, in a warm place while you make the filling.
- Mix orange zest, coconut oil and palm sugar. Spread mixture on the dough with spatula. (Do not use hands! It melts the mixture and makes it too runny.)
- Divide dough in half. Roll out into a rectangle about 3/8-inch-thick, 21” x 16” on a slightly floured surface.
- Spread the filling the dough (DO NOT SPREAD FILLINGS ON 1 to 2” ON THE LONG EDGE. THIS WILL PROVIDE AN AREA FOR THE SEEPING TOPPING TO GO AND ALLOW THE EDGE TO SEAL.)
- Roll up the dough (starting with the side farthest away from you).
- Using a heavy thread or dental floss cut into 1”- 1½ inch slices and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until double. (about 1 hour),
