Kim
Filled with the tropical flavors of pineapple AND coconut, this gluten free 'Ohana pineapple bread is out of this world! One bite and you'll feel like you're sitting right there at 'Ohana looking out at Cinderella's castle!
Make the dough according to the recipe instructions and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days.
Knead the dough on a well-floured surface and cut in half. Place the other half back in the refrigerator for another use.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle that's about ½ inch thick. Spread the filling over the bottom half of the dough and then pull the top half over the filling. Press fingertips into bottom of dough to seal. Some of the filling may leak out, which is okay.
Cut the dough using a pizza cutter or pastry wheel down the width into strips about 1 inch wide. Then cut those strips down the length into small squares that are about 1 by 1 inch in width.
Pick up the pieces of dough and place them haphazardly in a well-greased baking dish (11 by 7 inch is what I used, but use what you have).
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350° F and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix together the glaze ingredients and drizzle glaze over the bread while still warm.
Let bread cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature. Bread will keep well covered at room temperature for a few days, or can be frozen for up to two months, well wrapped. The filled dough can also be made a day ahead, kept in the refrigerator under wraps, and risen and baked the next morning.
Notes
***DISCLAIMER: The reason I created my own flour blends is because I could not obtain the results I wanted with flour blends that were available in stores, online, or from other gluten free bloggers. My recipes have been developed to be used with my own bread flour blend that I created after painstakingly testing for, in some cases, YEARS to develop what I believe to be a superior gluten free bread like no other. If you do not use my gluten free bread flour blend for this recipe, I cannot speak for the results you will obtain. While store bought blends may give you a satisfactory result, they may NOT give you the results intended in my recipe.
