ingredients

1 teaspoon sugar or 1 teaspoon sugar substitute
2 ¹⁄₄ teaspoons fast rise yeast
1 cup warm water (100 to 110 )
1 cup sliced ripe banana
¹⁄₂ cup pineapple-orange-banana juice, concentrate undiluted
¹⁄₂ cup honey
2 tablespoons butter, melted
5 cups bread flour, divided (about 23 3/4 ounces)
1 teaspoon salt
cooking spray
¹⁄₄ cup cream of coconut
2 tablespoons pineapple-orange-banana juice, concentrate undiluted
¹⁄₂ cup sifted powdered sugar

directions

Dissolve sugar and yeast in 1 cup warm water, and let stand for 5 minutes.
Combine banana, 1/2 cup juice concentrate, honey, and butter in a blender; process until smooth, and set aside.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 2 cups flour and salt in large bowl, stirring well. Add yeast mixture and banana mixture to flour mixture, stirring until well blended. Add 2 3/4 cups flour, stirring to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes). Add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; let rest 5 minutes. Form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (about 30 balls) on a lightly floured surface. Layer balls in a 10-inch tube pan coated with cooking spray; set aside.
Combine cream of coconut and 2 tablespoons juice concentrate in bowl; stir well. Pour 3 tablespoons juice mixture over dough; set remaining juice mixture aside. Cover dough, and let rise 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Uncover dough, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool in pan for 20 minutes. Remove from pan; place on a wire rack. Stir powdered sugar into remaining juice mixture. Drizzle powdered sugar mixture over top of warm bread.

I am university student and quasi-housewife to my workaholic significant other, who is a phenomenal cook and serious foodie as well.  We enjoy undertaking complicated cooking projects to help wind down after a long day...most days we don't get to eat until close to midnight, thanks to his work schedule, our gym time, and our cooking projects.  Our current food interests have been on curries, steak, shellfish, and healthy desserts.  The ethnic theme has mostly been Indian and Creole. We like incorporating a lot of spice and experimenting with rare or exotic ingredients. But we enjoy our wine (we keep a journal) and time together as we cook.  When time allows, we will enjoy a nice after-dinner drink (tailored to our dessert choice of course), usually a spicy sipping rum like Zaya or Zacapa or a glass of cognac or tawny port.  So we enjoy experimenting with desserts to suit or incorporate various spirits or dessert wines.  And trying to find some healthy options so we can enjoy our wine or *****tail with a little less guilt!  But we do love to indulge!  And love entertaining family and friends to sample new creations or enjoy some our famous concontions.  Currently, I am experimenting with creating a recipe list that incorporates the philosophy of the best facets of different diet plans while maximizing the benefits of combining the nutritional content of the foods with the health benefits of various spices in order to create nutritionally balanced meals.  Just for fun and some interested friends.  I'll create a recipe list when I have made more progress.
