[Guest guest]

My family makes this every weekend.

Pani Popo

 

5 3/4 to 6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 package yeast

2 1/4 cups milk

2 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon shortening, margarine, or butter

1 teaspoon salt

 

Mix 2 1/2 cups of flour and yeast. In a saucepan heat

and stir milk;

sugar; shortening, margarine, or butter; and salt till

warm and

shortening almost melts. Add to flour mixture. Beat

with an electric

mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl

constantly. Using a

spoon, stir in as much remaining flour as you can to

make a moderately

stiff dough that is smooth and easy to pull - 6-8

minutes.

Put some Crisco shortening on your hands. This will

add moisture to

your rolls and make it easier to handle. Shape in a

ball and put in a

greased bowl. Turn it on both sides to grease the

whole ball of

dough. Cover and let rise in the oven on the top rack

and below it in

a pan put some hot water. (The steam from the hot

water will help it

to rise) about 45 minutes. Punch dough down.

Roll 18 balls and cover for 10 minutes while you make

the following

milk mixture.

Mix 2 cans of coconut milk with 1 cup of sugar. (Add

more sugar if

you like it sweeter.) In 2 13x9x2 pans, pour in half

of the milk

mixture in each pan, put in 9 bread rolls on top (or

you can make the

rolls smaller to make more rolls). Bake at 375 degrees

in the oven

for 20 minutes or until bread tests done.
