Description

Delicious Hawaiian bread that anyone will love--even those who don't like coconut! It's made with bread roll dough, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package frozen dinner rolls, thawed
1 (10 ounce) can coconut milk
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup white sugar, or to taste

Directions

1 Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Coat your hands with cooking spray or shortening, and roll the dough balls in your hands so that they have a light coating. Place in the prepared dish. Set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled, up to 2 hours.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and sugar. Pour this mixture over the top of the rolls as evenly as you can.
3 Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before separating and serving.
