👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a small bowl, combine lukewarm water, 1/4 cup sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk (reserve the rest for the sauce), melted coconut oil, the beaten egg, vanilla extract (if using), and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- 3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 5
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Punch down the dough, divide it into 12 equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls in the prepared pan, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

While the buns are rising, prepare the coconut sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining coconut milk and 1/2 cup sugar. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour about two-thirds of the coconut sauce evenly over the risen buns.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the sauce is bubbling. Remove from oven and immediately pour the remaining coconut sauce over the hot buns.

Let the pani popo cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
