Hawaiian island sweet bread french toast with coconut syrup
Bread
Ukrainian cuisine
No matter how many times we have visited, my family has a special love for Hawaii. When we can't be there, we try to bring back the aloha by creating island flavors in our kitchen. Portuguese sweet bread, very popular on the islands, makes excellent French toast because of its eggy, light and slightly chewy texture. I made this version with guava and taro flavored sweet bread we brought back with us from Punalu’u Bake Shop, which by being located 30 minutes South of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Na’alehu is known as the “Southernmost Bakery in the U.S.A.” King’s Hawaiian bread or rolls, readily available in all major grocers on the mainland, make a great substitution. Hawaiian coconut syrup, easily found in Hawaii, is more difficult to come by off island, so I’ve made a recipe you can make from ingredients easily found anywhere.
