Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup unsweetened finely grated coconut
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 ounce active dry yeast
1/2 cup water -- warm
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons butter -- or vegetable shortening, melted
Put coconut, sugar, yeast and 1/2 cup warm water into a small
non-reactive bowl and stir briefly. Set aside until mixture is
swollen and bubbly, about 15 min.
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 min. 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 hr.
Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a ball. Arrange balls
of dough on a large oiled 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 min.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake bread until deep golden brown and
cooked through, 20 to 25 min. Serve warm or set aside to let cool to
room temperature.
