Hawaiian Bubble Bread

1 Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let stand 5 minutes.

2 Combine banana and next 4 ingredients in a blender; process until smooth,
and set aside.

3 Combine 2 cups flour and salt in a large bowl; stir well. Add yeast
mixture and banana mixture, stirring until well-blended. Add 2-3/4 cups
flour, stirring to form a soft dough.

4 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and
elastic (about 8 minutes). Add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon
at a time, to prevent the dough from sticking to hands.

5 Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat
top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts,
1-1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down; turn out onto a
lightly floured surface, and let rest for 5 minutes. Form the dough into
1-1/2-inch balls (about 30 balls) on a lightly floured surface. Layer balls
in a 10-inch tube pan coated with cooking spray; set aside.

6 Combine the cream of coconut and 2 tablespoons juice in a bowl; stir
well. Pour 3 tablespoons juice mixture over dough, and set remaining juice
mixture aside. Cover dough, and let rise 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in
bulk.

7 Uncover dough, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until loaf
sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool in pan 20 minutes. Remove from pan;
place on a wire rack. Stir powdered sugar into remaining juice mixture;
drizzle over top of warm bread. Yield: 1 loaf, 26 servings.
