For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of salt to the coconut milk mixture to balance the sweetness. If you prefer a richer coconut flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. These rolls are fantastic served with grilled chicken, pork, or fish for a tropical-inspired meal. Store leftover Pani Popo in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently before serving for the best taste and texture.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare Baking Dish and Rolls: Generously coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Lightly coat your hands with cooking spray or shortening to prevent sticking. Gently roll each thawed dough ball in your hands to coat it lightly with the spray or shortening, then place them evenly spaced in the prepared dish. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Proof the Dough: Cover the baking dish loosely with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise until the rolls have doubled in size. This may take up to 2 hours depending on the warmth of your environment. Patience is key for a light and airy texture! (up to 2 hours)
03 Step
Recipe View Preheat Oven and Prepare Coconut Sauce: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Bake: Once the rolls have doubled in size, carefully pour the coconut milk mixture evenly over the top of the rolls, ensuring each roll is generously coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. (30 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Cool and Serve: Remove the Pani Popo from the oven and let cool for a few minutes in the baking dish before separating the rolls and serving. They are best enjoyed warm, allowing the sweet coconut sauce to melt in your mouth.

Mar 4, 2024I was skeptical about the frozen dinner rolls, but they worked like a charm! The bread came out so soft and fluffy. I added a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top before baking for extra texture.
