Ok, this was awesome. When I first started making it I was nervous that it wouldn't be good. First off, I burnt the toasted coconut....side note, it burns fast. Keep an eye on it. If the almond paste doesn't seem to mix right, don't worry about it. I thought mine would be chunky but it turned out well. Very good, 5 mickeys! That means a recipe is coming your way!
2 pkg active dry yeast
1 C milk, heated to 120 F
1 t salt
1 t sugar
1 large egg
2 T veggie oil
4 1/2 C bread flour
2/3 C almond paste
1 t almond extract
2/3 C toasted coconut (hint: measure first, toast, then add)
Softened butter
Combine yeast and heated milk in mixer bowl and let stand 5 min. Add remaining ingredients, mixing with bread hook during addition. Continue to mix until well blended. Turn out on a lightly floured surface, cover with a cloth and let rest 30 min. in a warm place. At the end of 30 min. cut dough into 16 equal pieces. Kneading lightly, shape each into about 2-inch round loaves. Place on a large baking sheet, cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. With a sharp knife, cut a cross in top of each loaf. Bake at 400 F for about 15 min. or until golden brown. Brush top with softened butter. Best served hot.
