'Ohana Breakfast Bread


Clearly I am still missing Florida and Disney.  Two weeks later, I am trying to relive vacation through food.


A tough job but I am up for the challenge.  'Ohana restaurant at the Polynesian Resort has our most favorite dinner.  The dessert is bread pudding made with coconut pineapple bread.


'Ohana means family.  Dinner is served in an all you can eat family style bowls.  I may be known for getting dessert twice.  It is that good.


The bread is a sweet roll with a thickened coconut pineapple mixture.  I made a pan with intentions of replicating the bread pudding recipe. Instead we ate all of the bread for breakfast. I guess that is a good thing.
