-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup coconut -- unsweetened finely grated
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
3 1/2 cups flour -- plus more for kneading
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons butter or margarine -- or vegetable
shortening, melted
This is a Honduran bread.
Put coconut, sugar, yeast and water into a small non-reactive bowl
and stir briefly. Set aside until mixture is swollen and bubbly,
about 15 minutes. Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add
yeast mixture, coconut milk and butter. Using your hands or a wooden
spoon, stir until well combined.
Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead, dusting with
more flour as necessary, until soft and elastic, 5 to 6 minutes. Form
dough into a ball, dust generously all over with flour and transfer
to a clean large bowl. Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside
in a warm spot to let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a ball. Arrange balls
of dough on a large greased baking sheet, spacing them 3 to 4" apart.
Set aside in a warm spot, uncovered, to let rise until doubled in
size again, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F. Bake bread until deep golden brown and cooked
through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or set aside to let cool to
room temperature.
