Snowy Weekends Are Made for Cooking!

Since it had been absolutely FREEZING and SNOWING like mad or the last 2 weekends, my hubby and I stayed at home, not daring to venture out in the frigid wasteland that is Edmonton.  Of course, hubby played video games, while I put my time at home to good use.  Last weekend was the ignition of my discovery of baking bread, and so that inspiration continued this past weekend.

I dared myself to make a regular, plain old white bread AND...

Coconut bread.  Something different.

First, I modified the pesto bread recipe, and omitted the pesto and ''extras,'' and it came out looking like it did last week.
Yeast rising dough
Fresh bread!
Fresh sliced bread!

Next up, coconut buns!

6 mounds of dough
Rising
Added coconut goodness!
End result
They were finished within 2 days!  Soft buttery buns with toasted sweet coconut... nothing else could make a snowy weekend any better.

Happy Cooking!
