Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.75 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, pineapple juice, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is lukewarm, not hot.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Beat the egg and add it to the dough, stirring until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, about half a cup at a time, mixing until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8 to 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a round bun and place them evenly spaced on a greased baking tray.
Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the buns have doubled in size, bake them in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
