Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by measuring the ingredients according to your bread machineβs instructions. Start with the coconut milk, followed by the flour, shredded coconut, sugar, salt, and bread machine yeast. If necessary, add a little water to adjust the consistency, but ensure not to exceed the recommended capacity for your bread machine.
-
Set Your Bread Machine: Once your ingredients are in place, set the bread machine to the “sweet bread” or “white bread” setting. For my machine, the sweet bread setting runs for approximately 4 hours. This setting will ensure that your coconut bread has the perfect texture and flavor.
-
Bake the Bread: Allow your bread machine to work its magic. In approximately 4 hours, you will have a freshly baked loaf of coconut bread that smells absolutely divine. The machine will automatically knead, rise, and bake the dough into a golden, fragrant loaf.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the bread machine and allow it to cool on a wire rack. This step helps the loaf firm up and makes slicing easier. Slice and enjoy!
-
Optional Toasting: While the coconut bread is delicious as is, you may want to toast slices to bring out even more flavor and texture. It makes an excellent accompaniment to a cup of coffee or tea.
Tip: This recipe is ideal for those who enjoy a slightly sweeter bread with a tropical twist. It’s perfect for breakfast or as a light snack with a spread of butter or jam. You can also experiment by adding nuts or dried fruits to enhance the flavor even further!
