We all know about roasted bread. But what if we serve it in a hot plant-based milk sauce, including coconut milk sauce?
This recipe is a traditional Indonesian recipe that we only serve during the month of Ramadan to break the fast. That's because we can only get a supply of roasts during the month of Ramadan.
So every Iftar, this dish is filling enough to break the fast, with a sweet and savory taste.
ROASTED BREAD / 'ROTI KLATAK'
We call these loaves 'Roti Klatak'. Actually, this is a crispy and crunchy texture of bread from the roasting process.
The shape of 'Roti Klatak' here is small compared to bread in general and that is its uniqueness. When served with hot coconut milk sauces, their shape will enlarge after absorbing the sauce mixture.
Without being cooked, this type of bread is also delicious to enjoy just like that with tea or coffee. Some of the references read say that 'Roti Klatak' was intended for seafarers who traveled long distances and then enjoyed it with tea or coffee. The dry and crispy texture makes this bread last long.
The price is also quite cheap, for one package it sells for around 0.1 to 0.2 USD depending on the regions in Indonesia.
So this time I will show you how to serve Roasted Bread in Hot Coconut Milk Sauce with Brown Sugar. I promise it's really easy to do. You can also use toasted bread in general, but make sure the bread is really crispy.
THE INGREDIENTS
- 2 packs of roasted bread or about 100 grams
- 800 ml of coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 200 grams of brown sugar with 300 ml of water. Melt them into a sauce.
- Pandan leaves, but you can replace it with vanilla to add a delicious fragrance.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- STEP 1
- STEP 2
- STEP 3
- STEP 4
- STEP 5
THE RESULTS
The result looks like porridge, but not really. We can still see the texture of the bread on the surface of the sauce.
Add brown sugar sauce to your liking. You can also use this type of sweetening sauce instead of brown sugar, and you can also cook the sweetener together with coconut milk sauce.
Sweet and savory, it is enough to replenish our energy after fasting. But if it's not Ramadan, I would also like to make this recipe when there is roasted bread in stock.
How about you? Have you ever had a dessert like this?

Ah yes, some family members and friends of mine are also fasting.
Here, because of the different ethnicities and diverse Muslim population, the meals are very varied when breaking fasting. Dishes could be a soup, hearty meals, roti, and even Western dishes, etc. The Western dishes, like potato salads for example, were brought in to not get bored with the food, as they have to break fasting everyday.
wow awesome recipe coconut milk sister you like all the recipes it looks like it will be very tasty
Aku jadi ngiler karena potograpi nya. Aslinya aku ga doyan roti klatal 😅

Yes, perfect for Iftar. My mom like it :)
I just love eating bread when soaked like that...infact since i was a kid, I've got this habit of soaking my bread in tea before eating...i kinda enjoy that texture.
Now in coconut milk and brown sugar sauce on the side...your dessert must be heavenly for sure.
I'll try have a version of mine and add to my iftaar table one of these days.
Waoooo, look yummy!!! Your picture is so stunning and I just want to eat all 🤪I love coconut and everything related 😍 it's a bit similar with one of our Vietnamese dessert named "chè", I will make a post sharing about that one day 😍 Thank you for curarating my post on @ocd by the way 🥰
Interesting dessert! I've never seen/tried anything like it.
And oh, I am missing Iftar dinners already. When I was working, my company and our partner companies would always sponsor Iftar dinners. :) Anyway, now since the pandemic last year, such gatherings are already restricted. :(
Iftar dinners are already rarely too. So people making iftar at family home :)

Okee i gonna try ...
Very cool recipe, it reminds of "bread pudding," a very popular dish in the southern USA. I think it came from Dutch influence, and it makes me wonder if there was some Dutch influence on this dish too.....
Thanks for sharing chef.
