I LOVEd Pan De Coco when I was young so it was definitely in my to-bake-list.

I got the recipe from My Sweet Ambitions:

Here's my unbaked bread:

Literally staring at it while baking because I don't want a burnt bread this time

And here's my final product!!! Yey! Finally a success!

Funny sidenotes: 

- I used 1/8 measuring cup instead of 1/3. Omg! I had to practice my math again to do the conversion.

- I forgot to put the egg wash before putting my first batch in the oven. I had to put it just because the batch was fully cooked!
