Pain Coco and Firi Firi

This is a recipe I acquired over the Summer while visiting family in Tahiti. My nephew would make loaves of coconut bread or pain coco and sell it at school and in the neighborhood. He go the recipe from a family friend Mamie Rosine. You can also use the dough of this recipe for Tahitian donuts or firi firi - delicious! Mamie Rosine Pain Coco 1kg flour all purpose about 7 cups 10 Tablespoons white sugar 1 1/2 cups makes a sweeter dough 1 T rapid rise yeast Stir together in large bowl. Create a hole in the middle. Pour in the hole 1 can coconut milk + 1 can of warm water. Mix & knead. Dough might be a little sticky just add a little more flour. Rest dough 30-60 minutes or overnight. Bake 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until nice & golden. OR Shape into doughnuts (firi firi) & deep fry. Enjoy!
