Ingredients

1 package Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups flaked coconut, divided
4 ounces cream cheese, softened or room temperature


Directions

In a mixer bowl (with bread hook attachment), combine yeast, water and sugar. Let yeast foam for about 7-10 minutes. Add salt, flour, oil and 1 cup coconut. On a medium to medium high speed, mix the dough about 5 minutes until it forms a ball on the hook.

Mix remaining coconut and cream cheese until combined.

To form a dinner roll, flatten about 4 tablespoons of dough and fill the middle with a tablespoon of the coconut cream cheese filling. Form it into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet. Let rolls rise in a warm place about 20 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Rub butter on the tops.
