This bread is so dear, I tell ya. Bless the south Pacific Islands for gifting the world this bread. Not even sure where the bread is original to, Samoa, Hawai or the Rhodes Islands. I really don’t care. I love it. I discovered this bread a little over a year ago, after Phisayo Ade shared the recipe. Ever since I’ve been hooked.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk

• 1/3 cup white sugar

• 1/3 cup butter

• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 eggs

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 1 1/4 Cup Coconut Milk

Procedure

– First activate your yeast, by adding yeast and about a pinch of sugar to 1/8 cup warm water. The water should be about 110° – 115 °. Leave it to sit for about 10 minutes. The yeast would being to froth if it is active. If it doesn’t froth, it is not active.

– Combine the milk, sugar and melted butter and oil.- In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt.

– Mix in the eggs, oil and the yeast, and butter mixture.

– Cover and let stand in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour or more .

– Punch down dough and divide into 8 – 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place them into the greased pan side by side.

– Let dough rise for 45 – 40 mins minutes, or until almost double.- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F .- Pour Coconut milk over the risen bread buns. And sprinkle some granulated sugar over the top of the bread

Enjoy with your favourite soup, tea or just butter. Tastes great when it is till warm.

Soft fluffy and very delicious.
