Pan Dushi (Antillean Sweet Bread) image

When we lived on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, our neighbor had a bakery and we would wake up each morning to the aroma of fresh bread and these rolls! It was sweet torture and many times we would give in and treat ourselves to these yummy rolls for breakfast! (Prep time includes time for dough to rise two times. Recipe did not include serving size or yield, so I'm guessing on the servings...)
