Sri Lankan bakery-style kibula buns or viana rolls, are delicious sweet buns filled with a coconut and sugar mixture. Here's a simplified recipe:

Ingredients:

#### For the dough:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

#### For the filling:
2 cups freshly grated coconut
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. *Prepare the filling:*
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated coconut, brown sugar, ground cardamom, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.

2. *Make the dough:*
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. *Shape the buns:*
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal-sized portions (usually around 8-10).
Flatten each portion into a circle and place a spoonful of the coconut filling in the center. Bring the edges together and pinch to seal, forming a bun.

4. *Final steps:*
Place the shaped buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Let the buns rise again for about 20-30 minutes.
Brush the buns with beaten egg wash for a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

5. *Serve:*
Once baked, let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.

Enjoy your delicious Sri Lankan bakery-style kibula buns!

Note: Adjust sugar quantities according to your taste preference. Traditionally, these buns tend to have a sweeter filling, but you can modify it to your liking.
