This recipe is enough to make one 9×13 pan, and should be enough for 6-8 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (you can use canned or fresh)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 3/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp shortening
- 4 1/s cup bread flour
- 1/2 tsp salt

6.) Once dough rises, roll onto a floured surface until it is at two inches thick.
7.) Spread the pineapple and coconut mixture over the top surface of the dough.
8.) Fold dough over onto itself and place it into a greased cake pan measures 9×13.
9.) Use a pizza cutter and cut the dough into squares and spread it out evenly into the pan.
10.) Place pan into a warm oven of right at 110 degrees and allow the dough to rise again, but this time, about halfway up the pan sides.
11.) Once it rises, bake the dough to a golden brown at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
12.) Allow to cool and serve for breakfast or use in ‘Ohana Bread Pudding.
