We are all missing the parks right about now. Some of us are wishing we could bring a little Disney Magic home with us! We have decided to make a “Disney Food at Home” series of Disney Parks recipes for you to try for yourself at home! 

In the first series, we are going to give you our recipe to make homemade School Bread just like the kind you find at Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in EPCOT. Try it for yourself and then let us know how it worked out for you! Post your photos of your family on Instagram with #themeparkprofessor and we could feature your School Bread!

Instructions:

• Heat water and butter to 95 degrees.

• Roll each piece into a ball and put them on a non-stick sheet pan and let them proof for 30 minutes.
• Bake for 15 minutes in a 375-degree oven. Let cool.
• Mix powdered sugar and water (use small amounts until proper consistency is achieved) to make icing and place in a shallow pan.

• Dip bread in icing (hole side down) and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
• Using a pastry bag, squeeze vanilla custard inside of the hole and swirl at the top for decoration.

Custard

• In a heavy saucepan bring milk to a boil.
• Set aside.
• In a bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture doubles by volume.
• Add the hot milk a few drops at a time to temper the eggs.
• Mix well after each addition.
