Folks, there is only one bread roll you need for the holidays and you are looking at it. This Hawaiian roll right here got married to this Samoan bread roll right here– and here is their offspring – Hawaiian Coconut Bread roll- Cool name right? I made that up. I just could not come up with a more creative name. My brain freezes up sometimes- Can’t blame it on the a a a a a alcohol..Cause am not a drinker . So let’s blame this on the Christmas Season.
You know what crossed my mind? Wishing I was the off spring but then again, I would have a very short life expectancy, too short- people would gobble me. I bet you would – fresh from the oven. Maybe not! I love my life as human -would not trade places for ANYTHING!
You see, I love making bread rolls so any opportunity I get to try out something new I am all for it. Sometimes they don’t work out and some times it is a heavenly creation. On this blog, I have about 4 rolls and counting; Milk bread roll, honey wheat roll, Hawaiian sweet roll and Samoan coconut roll this is my all favorite to date. I just adore it.
Yes, I know you are not supposed to adore food but I do. It is buttery, soft, fluffy and full of flavor- once you try it you are hooked! This it so good on it ‘s own- butter would be an over indulgent but don’t let me stop you…
Enjoy! Here are some tips that I have picked up when making bread – I added ¼ cup milk powder for extra flavor –if you do not have milk powder that’s ok. – Make sure the water is not too hot. You don’t want it warmer than body temperature- it will kill the yeast if you do – In order for your bread to be fluffy it has to double in size- be patient with it (in might take longer some days depending on weather) – If your bread does not rise in an hour, try turning on the oven to warm for 10 minutes. Then, turn it off and let the dough rise in the oven. – If all fails mix rapid rise yeast into the dough and knead. – Make the dough let it rise, shape and freeze these would last for up to 2 months. When ready to bake remove and bring to room temperature before baking.
