Creeping Around a Back Alley for Soft, Doughy Hot Bread in Molokai
In-the-know visitors flock to the Kanemitsu Bakery on Molokai, not only in the early morning hours for freshly baked bread, but the middle of the night. Turn onto a Kaunakakai side street, make a left at the chain-link fence, walk down a dark alley, rap where "Knock Here" is painted on a graffiti-filled concrete wall... a bakery employee opens the door, you say your order (from the hand-written poster/menu), the door closes, he or she hands over still-too-hot-to-handle bread in a green plastic grocery bag, you hand over the cash. It's no wonder there are often crowds. These are dense, 16-ounce, round loaves of toasty-warm goodness, slitted open and slathered with your choice of butter, cinnamon/sugar, cream cheese, blueberry or strawberry spread. Pure doughy, decadent goodness.
