Luau Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Spread bread with mayo; fill with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 4-by-8-inch loaf pan.
• In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice and 1/2 cup water over medium heat until the mixture reaches 105 degrees F. Immediately transfer the liquid to the mixing bowl of a heavy-duty mixer with a dough hook attachment. Add the brown sugar; sprinkle the yeast on top and let stand for 5 minutes.
• On low speed, mix in the dry milk powder, salt and cinnamon. Continue to mix, adding the egg and butter. Slowly incorporate the 2 1/2 cups flour. Raise the speed to medium. Add the carrots, coconut, macadamia nuts and pineapple tidbits.
• Continue to knead in the mixer on medium speed until all ingredients are completely incorporated, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining flour as needed until the dough is slightly sticky, but not sticking to the bowl.
• Form the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 5 minutes.
• Roll the ball out slightly, then flip over and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough out completely in order to remove the air from the dough's first rising.
• Roll the dough into a loaf shape, pulling back as you roll to tighten the loaf. Seal the ends and the seams in the dough thoroughly with your fingers.
• Firmly press the dough into the prepared pan. Let the dough rise in the pan, in a warm place, until the top of the dough reaches 1-inch above the pan, about 20 minutes, depending on the temperature of the dough and the room. Gently place the pan in the oven and bake until the bread is firm and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
• Gently remove the loaf from the pan and let cool on a rack. Serve slices with butter and preserves, or use in place of plain bread for a tropical take on sandwiches or French toast.

Steps:

• The idea of building a pit to cook is as old as time. What you cook can be as complicated or as easy as you want, and its size can be whatever the labor force allows--a much better usage for bob a job week than ruining the paintwork on your car. Suggestions for food to cook are ears of corn, potatoes, fish fillets wrapped in foil with butter and seasoning, chops or sausages wrapped in foil, clams, mussels, or lobsters. Use your imagination and experiment.
• 1. Drive 4 posts into the ground to delineate a rectangular area about 5 by 8 feet. Dig out to a depth of 18 inches, banking the sand around the edges.
• 2. Line the pit with smooth, dry pebbles or bricks.
• 3. Start a small fire on top of the stones in the middle and gradually add logs until you fill the whole pit.
• 4. Keep the fire stoked for at least an hour, then allow to burn down for another hour to ensure the stones are properly heated.
• 5. Carefully rake the embers from the pit without disturbing the stones.
• 6. As quickly as possible, spread well-rinsed seaweed or non-poisonous green leaves over the stones in a layer about 6 inches deep.
• 7. Lay the prepared food in a single layer on top of the seaweed.
• 8. Spread a 6 inch layer of seaweed over the food. Make sure the food is completely covered.
• 9. Cover with a tarp that extends at least 12 inches beyond the sides of the pit. Weigh down the edges with stones. Let the food cook for at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except bread and process in a food processor.
• Scoop out the loaf of bread to form a bread bowl.
• Place dip into bread bowl.
• Arrange pieces of bread center arrange around bread bowl on a tray or plate.
