   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  coconut milk
   1                cup  old-fashioned whole rolled oats -- not quick 
cook or instant
      1/4           cup  water -- (120-130F)
   2               cups  all-purpose flour
   3               Tbsp  coconut oil -- melted canola or vegetable 
oil may be substituted
   2               Tbsp  light brown sugar -- packed
   2 1/4            tsp  RED STAR Platinum Superior Baking Yeast -- 
Note: * (one 1/4 oz. pkg)
   1              pinch  salt -- optional to taste

Soft, tender and moist sandwich bread with just a hint of coconut flavor.

Yield: One 8x4" loaf

Note: * Red Star Platinum Superior Baking Yeast contains dough enhancer.

In a 2-cup microwave-safe glass measuring cup or small bowl, heat the 
coconut milk until it just begins to boil; about 2 minutes.

Add oatmeal to the milk and stir to combine. Set aside and let cool 
until temperature reaches 120 to 130F, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1/4C 
tap water (120-130F).

To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (or a large 
mixing bowl and knead by hand for about 10 minutes), combine flour, 
oil, brown sugar, instant dry yeast, and oatmeal mixture. Knead for 5 
to 7 minutes on low speed, or until a moist, shaggy dough forms. The 
dough is quite moist and sticky, but resist the temptation to add 
additional flour, unless it's so moist that it won't combine. 
Conversely, if it's too dry, add up to one-quarter cup water. Erring 
on the side of too moist is always preferable to too dry in bread-making.

After kneading, turn the dough out into a large, greased bowl, cover 
with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 
about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Spray an 8-by-4" loaf pan with (coconut) cooking spray, or grease and 
flour the pan; set aside.

After the dough has doubled, punch it down, turn it out onto a 
floured surface or Silpat and knead it for about 3 minutes.

With your fingers or a rolling pin, shape dough into a 10" by 6" 
rectangle, just eyeball it. The long side should be slightly longer 
than the baking pan, which is 8". Starting with a long edge, roll to 
form a tight cylinder. There's not much to roll, about 3 turns. Tuck 
ends in and under, and place cylinder in prepared pan, seam side 
down. Optionally, when rolling, sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, 
ground ginger, raisins, or diced dried fruit.

Cover pan with plastic wrap, and allow dough to rise in a warm, 
draft-free place until doubled, about 60 to 75 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until lightly 
golden, domed, and puffy. Rotate pan midway through baking if 
desired. When tapped, bread should sound hollow. The internal 
temperature should reach 210F.

Allow bread to cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes before turning out 
onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Question: can this be made in bread machine?
Response: Yes, with a few adjustments. In a 2-cup microwave-safe 
glass measuring cup or small bowl, heat the coconut milk until it 
just begins to boil; about 2 minutes. Add oatmeal to the milk and 
stir to combine. Set aside and let cool until temperature reaches 
80F. Stir in 1/4 cup tap water at room temperature. Then proceed with 
recipe - adding ingredients to the bread machine as recommended by 
the manufacturer.

Review: I have made this bread twice, once with AP flour and once 
with Gluten Free AP substitute flour. Worked like a charm both times. 
Such a great recipe for a delicious bread for anyone!

Question: How would this recipe do made into dinner rolls? Cinnamon 
rolls? Look forward to giving this a try.
Response: You can use this dough to make dinner rolls or even 
cinnamon rolls. The rise and bake times will need to be adjusted, so 
just keep an eye on the dough.

Question: Just made this and it's delicious. Can the recipe be doubled?
Response:  I'm so glad you enjoyed the bread! Yes, you can double the recipe.
