1

Bloom the yeast by mixing warm water and honey in a bowl, then adding instant yeast and stirring until incorporated. Let it sit covered for 10-15 minutes.

2

Grate 1/3 cup each of pumpkin and carrot using a large grater for longer strands.

3

Check the yeast after 10 minutes; it should have a layer of foam indicating it's bloomed.

4

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until evenly incorporated.

5

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the bloomed yeast mixture.

6

Knead the dough together until it starts to clump, adding water as needed to hydrate the mixture.

7

Incorporate room temperature unsalted butter into the dough, squeezing it together until fully mixed in.

8

Add grated coconut to the dough after the butter is incorporated, mixing until the dough has a classic coconut bake look.
