You can reserve half of the sauce to use as topping for the baked bread.
If you don’t like coconut milk in the dough, use normal milk instead.
If you are using active dry yeast instead of instant yeast, heat up the milk until lukewarm and dissolve a tablespoon of sugar in it. Add the dry yeast and let it bloom for about 10minutes. Add to the dry ingredients.
Add more milk by the tablespoon if the dough seems to dry.
You can put a bit of foil on top of the bread while it bakes if it gets brown too fast.
