Honduran Coconut Bread

1.In a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in warm water and add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes.
2.Place the coconut milk, coconut oil, flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt into the mixing bowl. Attach the dough hook and mix at the lowest speed for 2 minutes, or until the dough clings to the hook and clears the sides of the bowl.
3.Knead at this same speed for another 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. It will be sticky to touch. Lightly grease a large bowl, place the dough in it and turn the dough over once to grease the top. Cover with a towel and keep warm until the dough doubles, about 1 to 2 hours.
4.Place the dough on a floured surface and divide into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion between the palm of your hands and shape into rolls. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Arrange rolls in prepared baking pan, cover with a towel and let them rise for 30 minutes.
5.Preheat oven to 375F. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Brush with melted butter. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
