Coconut Cinnamon Buns for a cold January day..

in #food8 years ago

So today because it is below 20 degrees here, we are going to be making some delicious, coconut cinnamon rolls. I am going to cut right to the chase and get to the recipe and the good stuff! My next post will have a bit more story and less "recipe."
First, your ingredients are as follows:

For the buns:
2 1/4 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
1 cup Grace coconut milk, slightly warmed
3 tablespoons Grace coconut oil, melted, and cooled
3 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:
2 tablespoons Grace coconut oil, melted, and cooled
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar

for the coconut glaze:
1 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut flakes

And your directions, short and sweet (literally)
Sprinkle the yeast over the coconut milk. Stir and let proof. Whisk in the coconut oil. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and salt. Pour in the coconut yeast mixture, stir and then knead by hand until the dough comes together into a ball. Let rise in a warm spot, in a clean bowl, covered loosely with plastic wrap, until doubled, about 1 hour.

On a lightly floured surface, tip out the dough and roll out to a large rectangle, about 14 x 20 inches. Brush the coconut oil on evenly, all the way to the edges. Whisk together the cinnamon and sugar in small bowl then spread evenly onto the dough. Roll into a tight roll, and depending on your pan, cut into 9 or 12 equal pieces. If using a 8 x 8 inch pan, cut into 9. If using a 10.5 x 7.5 inch ceramic baking dish, cut into 12 pieces.

Place the rolls into the pan, cover loosely with plastic and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled.

At this point, you can hold the buns in the fridge if needed – if you’d like to prepare them the night before and bake them off in the morning that definitely works. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and bake the buns for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. If baking from the fridge, remove the buns from the fridge as the oven is heating up. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

While the buns are baking, make the glaze. Stir together the coconut milk and sugar until smooth. When the buns are done, the tops should be golden brown and a skewer poked through should come out clean. Glaze immediately and top with coconut chips. Let cool slightly and enjoy!!!!! Stay warm!
