Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flavored rum
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut chips or flakes (reserve 2 tbsp for topping the bread)
  • 1 sweet round bread (like King's Hawaiian)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter. Cook over med-low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly until the butter is completed melted. Remove from heat and stir in the pineapple, rum, and coconut flakes (make sure to reserve 2 tbsp of the coconut and set aside!).
  • Remove the bread from it's packaging and transfer to a baking sheet (line with parchment paper for easy clean-up). Make 4-5 vertical cuts into the bread about 1 1/2 inches apart. Be sure to not cut through the bottom of the loaf stopping 1/2 inch from the bottom crust.
  • Open each slice slightly. Using half of the brown sugar/pineapple mixture, spoon it between each slice.
  • Now make 4-5 horizontal cuts and repeat the steps above. Pour any of the remaining brown sugar/pineapple mixture over top of the bread and then sprinkle the reserved coconut over top.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
