Time 1h5m

Yield 2 loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces dried fruit (or raisins)
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 lb margarine, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 small coconut, grated (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & grease two 9-inch loaf pans.
  • In a small bowl, add dried fruit & 1/4 cup of the 4 cups of flour, then strain flour into a large bowl, leaving the dried fruit coated with a bit of flour. Set the dried fruit aside.
  • In that same large bowl, add the rest of the flour then whisk together the flour, baking powder & salt, before adding the sugar, beaten egg, milk, melted margarine, vanilla extract & coconut milk, whisking to combine well.
  • Stir in the grated coconut & dried fruit, blending well. If necessary, knead briefly on a floured surface.
  • Cut dough in half & shape each half into loaves, & placing them in the prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to coconut bread. If you don't have fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: Coconut bread is traditionally baked in a loaf pan. This helps the bread to rise evenly and gives it a classic shape.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
