  • Directions
  • Mix 4 Cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast together and set aside.
  • To make the bread, warm coconut milk until it is more than lukewarm but not too hot. You can test it on the back of your hand or use a thermometer to reach 114 F.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the warm coconut milk and stir.
  • Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and combine to make a soft, sticky dough.
  • Flour working surface and place the dough on top.
  • Knead dough, flouring the surface as needed, until dough is smooth and soft (about 10 minutes).
  • Brush bowl with melted butter and place dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper and a damp tea towel.
  • Place bowl in warm spot for 60 to 90 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Roll dough and cut into smaller squares to make individual coco breads.
  • Roll each square until 1/8 inch thick; brush dough with melted butter and fold over. Use a medium bowl to cut in a semi-circle.
  • Repeat last step to make more; place each on parchment-lined baking sheets and brush the tops of the dough with melted butter.
  • Place baking sheets in warm spot for 10 minutes so dough can rise; place sheets in oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool and slice in half.
  • Set aside.
  • To make the patties, combine all ingredients, handling as little as possible.
  • Shape into 6 patties to fit the buns.
  • Loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  • To make the chutney, combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil.
  • Place the patties on the rack, cover and cook, turning once until done to preference, 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
  • Place the sliced buns on the outer edges of the grill cut side down on rack for 11/2-minutes on each side to toast lightly.
  • To assemble the burgers, place patty on bottom bun.
  • Add 2 butter lettuce leaves.
  • Top with chutney mixture.
