Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 cups water
  • red food coloring, enough to get the shade of red that you want (it takes a lot of food colouring to get it to be the deep red that i personally like)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 package fleishmann yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup flour , for rolling purposes

Directions:

  1. On the stove cook the first four ingredients until the water has evaporated (lets call this combination (A*) .
  2. With the next four ingredients in a clean sauce pan: Scald milk (not boil).
  3. Add sugar and shortening and salt. (Lets call this combination (B*) ).
  4. For the next 3 ingredients: Put in a glass bowl and let sit 15 minutes. (Lets call this combination (C*) .
  5. Combine (B*) and (C*) and add 5 cups of flour with about 1-2 cups of water (I use about 1 1/2 cups) Mix with spoon very fast.
  6. Roll onto a floured board for 8-10 minutes adding about 1 cup of flour as necessary for rolling purposes to stop it from sticking to the board.
  7. Shape into one ball and cover with a clean tea towel and let it rise for about one hour.
  8. Divide into 4-5 balls, and roll each ball out about 1/4 inch thin.
  9. Spread coconut mixture (A*) onto it, roll up, tucking the ends under.
  10. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray (or on a greased cookie sheet), seam side down, leaving a little gap between loaves.
  11. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
