I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - cjs - 07-22-2008 After putting the coconut cupcakes in the oven, found I had over half a can of cocount milk left...what to do, what to do...so now there is a batch of Dinner buns with coconut milk rising....darn, I just know I won't be able to stay out of them! * Exported from MasterCook * Dinner Buns With Coconut Milk Recipe By :Rhonda Parkinson, 1 teaspoon sugar -- (5 ml) 1/2 cup warm water -- (125 ml) 1 package active dry yeast 1/2 cup canned coconut milk -- (125 ml) mixed with 1/2 cup (125 ml) regular milk 1/4 cup butter -- (50 ml) margarine or shortening 3 tablespoons sugar -- (45 ml) 2 teaspoons salt -- (10 ml) 1/2 cup warm water -- (125 ml) 5 cups blended bread flour -- (5 to 6) Dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1/2 cup of warm water. Sprinkle in the package of yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes and then stir. Heat the milk to lukewarm, stirring. Add in the butter, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 cup warm water. Add the heated milk mixture and 2 cups flour to the dissolved yeast mixture. Beat until the mixture is smooth and elastic (I find a whisk works quite well). Gradually stir in the remaining 3 cups of flour, adding a bit more flour of necessary. The dough should be soft and easily leave the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and round it up into a ball. Knead the dough until it is smooth, elastic and not sticky. Again, add a bit more flour if necessary. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Turn the dough so that the top is greased as well. Cover with greased wax paper and a tea towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled (about 1 1/2 hours). Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Punch down to let the air out of the dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board. Use a wetted knife to cut the dough in half, and then each half into thirds, and thirds again. This gives 18 buns. Shape the buns into balls and place on a lightly greased surface. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes. After removing the buns, use a pastry brush to lightly coat them with butter. Cool.

And to think I used to NEVER have bread with dinner...LOL! You know you'll have to taste and let us know. Copied and saved. BTW, which cupcakes did you finally decide on, or have I missed that? I want to go back and copy the one somebody posted that pureed the coconut, since I'm not a big fan of the texture. Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - cjs - 07-22-2008 Throw the recipe away, Daphne!!!! (they are so delicious! ) I made the cupcakes from C@H, Issue 50 - with the white chocolate cream cheese frosting. Haven't tasted them yet. Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - Gourmet_Mom - 07-22-2008 Quote:You're kidding, right. I just happen to have a can of milk in the pantry from where I never got around to the coconut pork chop review. Shall I double the batch and freeze half? No sense in wasting the coconut milk. I'm scared to go look for a recipe to use it in....And NO I CAN NOT make the cupcakes this week. I'm trying out that NY Cheesecake recipe Thursday. Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - bjcotton - 07-22-2008 I just picked up the coconut today to make the cake. Hadn't been out anywhere for most of the week/weekend. Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - cjs - 07-23-2008 It was a warning, Daphne - the rolls are delicious. Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - piano226 - 07-23-2008 Try making Sweet sticky rice. This recipe is the most simple and the best out of all of them that I tried. P.S if you only have half a can just skip the sauce part of the recipe ..i have done that many times. http://www.ifood.tv/recipe/sweet_sticky_rice_with_mangoes Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - Gourmet_Mom - 07-24-2008 Thanks for the site and the sticky rice recipe "piano". I may have to make this...looks really good. But to be honest, I was just teasing Jean about the recipe. Although, against firm warning, I'm still going to make these...LOL! Jean, do you think the recipe would convert to "loaf" bread? Would I want to? I REALLY want to try out my NEW silicon bread pans! But I NEED to make bread for sammies. Looks like I have a lot of baking in my future. Luckily, it's supposed to be cooler, low to upper 80's for the next few days. Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - cjs - 07-24-2008 Daphne, I think these would make a great loaf and especially lend well to slicing for sandwiches - it's a rather coarse, but at the same time soft (you figure out what I'm trying to say ) texture. I make sticky rice quite often, Marina, will check your suggestion out. The can has been used and won't be working with it again for quite a while, I'm sure. Re: I Can Get Myself In More Trouble..... - Gourmet_Mom - 07-25-2008 Jean, do I understand these only rise once? I'm gonna let the loaves rise twice. I don't think it'll hurt. If I'm not mistaken, the popcorn bread rises twice. Maybe since it's rolls...Seems like you guys said you didn't let your popcorn rolls/buns rise after shaping. |
