Pan de Coco "Cinnabons" (Cocobons)

 

I have been wanted to test this recipe.  I had to all worked out in my head but I didn't have a chance to try it until this weekend.  After I made the some pichi pichi, I had some left over coconut.  I took the coconut and mixed it with some brown sugar and let it set in the fridge for a couple of hours.  I was also doing another experiment by freezing the bread dough and see how it came out so I was able to achieve two test in one bake good :D 

 

Ingredients

* The measurements are up to you and how much you would like to make

1lb of Sweet bread dough of your choice *I used a brioche recipe

Unsalted Butter

Coconut/brown sugar mixture

* Nuts are optional but I couldn't put them because The Daughter is allergic :( 

 

It is all in the assembly!

 

Direction

1. Roll out the dough until it is about an 1/2 inch thick
2. Spread butter until it is covered
3. Sprinkle the desired amount of coconut mix *You may want more than others
4. Roll up the edges until it becomes a log

   
5.  Slice the log about 2 inches thick and lay it in a buttered pan

   
6. Let it rise for about 1 to 2 hours until it doubles in size.  I generally put a clothe over the rolls. 

   
7. Once the rolls look about done proofing, preheat the oven at 350 degrees. 

Bake for about 20-25 minutes, 5 minutes before it is about done pour the coconut sauce over to have it cook.
