TROPICAL COCONUT BREAD



Tropical Coconut Bread image

Having a Luau party? Then this is a must but, you'll want to make this throughout the year. The smell alone will get your significant other to release their grip on the remote, the kids will drift out of their bedrooms and the neighbors might come knocking. I dare to say, this might even be an aphrodisiac! It's great alone but if you're adventurous, slice some strawberries on it or drizzle chocolate syrup over it and top it with some whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut adds a delicious flavor and texture to the bread. If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan is the best way to bake coconut bread. It will help the bread rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dry.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Letting the bread cool completely before slicing will help prevent it from crumbling.
  • Serve the bread warm or at room temperature: Coconut bread is best served warm or at room temperature. You can also toast the bread before serving.
