Coco Bread

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm coconut milk, warm water, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Shape and Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8-10 equal portions.

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each ball into an oval shape about 1/2 inch thick.

Fold the sides of each oval toward the center, creating a slightly rounded loaf. Place the folded loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Brush the tops of the loaves with the melted butter mixed with coconut milk.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and brush with additional melted butter if desired.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
