### Ingredients:

#### For the Dough:
– **3 cups all-purpose flour**
– **1/4 cup sugar**
– **1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast**
– **1/2 cup warm milk** (about 110°F/43°C)
– **1/4 cup unsalted butter** (melted)
– **1/4 teaspoon salt**
– **2 large eggs**
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract**

#### For the Custard Filling:
– **1 cup whole milk**
– **1/4 cup sugar**
– **3 large egg yolks**
– **2 tablespoons cornstarch**
– **2 tablespoons unsalted butter**
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract**

#### For the Coconut Topping:
– **1/2 cup shredded coconut** (sweetened or unsweetened, based on preference)
– **1 tablespoon sugar** (optional, for added sweetness)
– **1 tablespoon butter** (melted, for brushing)

### Directions:

#### Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1. **Activate the Yeast:**
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk with the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy and bubbly. This shows that the yeast is active and ready to work its magic on the dough.

2. **Mix the Dough Ingredients:**
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the yeast mixture along with the melted butter. Stir until the dough comes together.

3. **Knead the Dough:**
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook to make this process easier.

4. **Let the Dough Rise:**
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

#### Step 2: Make the Custard Filling
1. **Heat the Milk:**
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling.

2. **Whisk the Egg Yolks:**
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and slightly thickened.

3. **Temper the Egg Mixture:**
Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Gradually add the rest of the hot milk, continuing to whisk.

4. **Cook the Custard:**
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to boil. Once it’s thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Let the custard cool slightly before using.
