Pani popo is a Samoan dish, and is basically sweet rolls and coconut sauce. I stole this recipe from my sister Marri’s cookbook. Feel free to replace the bread in this example with your favorite recipe.
2 1/2 c warm water
2 Tbsp yeast
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c oil
2 tsp salt
6+ c flourDissolve yeast in water. Add all ingredients except flour. Mix well. Add half of flour. Beat until smooth. Add rest of flour one cup at a time until dough is soft or cleans sides of bowl. Knead for 5 minutes. Let raise for 1 hour or until double. Shape and put in greased pan. Let raise.
Then make the coconut sauce:
Boil:
1 400 ml (13.4 oz) can coconut milk
(Asian section of the grocery store)
3/4 can waterAdd:
1/2 c sugar
1 heaping Tbsp cornstarchCook until thickened. Pour evenly over rolls, making sure to coat the tops.
Bake 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
With this recipe, we typically get a 9×13 and 9×9, with 12 and 9 rolls each.
