These rolls are soooooo good and pretty easy to make. Too bad the nutrition isn't that great for those who have to be careful. I know readers don't like to hear about substitutions, but I make rolls so often I feel comfortable experimenting. For example, I subbed half of the flour with whole wheat and the other half with bread flour. The results were magnificent and the pudding serves as a spread for the rolls. Also, I used more flour than the 3 1/4 cups called for in the recipe. I would say that I used closer to 4 cups.

The coconut milk added after the dough rises creates a thick pudding on the pan bottom--sort of a reverse frosting. Paired with a tropical fruit salad, these indulgent buns are perfect for a brunch party. Prep and Cook Time: 3 1/2 hours.
