Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   I used my Kitchenaid, if you don’t have one use a mixing bowl and hand mixer. You may have to mix by hand to get it completely mixed.

2. 2

   Sift the flour then make a well in the middle of your flour.

3. 3

   Pour the lukewarm water in the well, add the 1/2 C of sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it set for about 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and starts to bubble.

4. 4

   Add the coconut oil and salt.

5. 5

   Add in 1 can plus 2 Tablespoons coconut milk and mix until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl.

6. 6

   Mix with the dough hook (if using a hand mixer you may have to use your hands).

7. 7

   Leave the dough in the bowl, covered,until it is doubled in size. I set mine by the oven to speed up the process. (about 30 minutes).

8. 8

   Divide the dough into balls (it makes 18-20 rolls). Place them in a 9x 13 baking pan.

9. 9

   Cover again, set by the oven until doubled in size again.

10. 10

    Heat the oven to 375°F.

11. 11

    Mix the rest of the coconut milk with the sugar and pour over the top of the rolls.

12. 12

    Sprinkle sugar on top of the rolls and bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. The coconut milk will be absorbed into the rolls.

13. 13

    While hot, butter the top of the rolls.

14. 14

    Serve Warm (or cool) but I recommend warm and so does my family.
