COCONUT BREAD
from:Caribbean Cookbook by Rita G. Springer (1968)
4 cups flour
1/4 lb shortening
3/4 cup milk and coconut water
6 oz sugar
1 egg
2 cups grated coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 oz raisins(opt)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Sift dry ingredients. Add sugar, then beaten egg with milk, melted
shortening and essence. Stir in grated coconut, raisins(floured) if used.
Blend ingredients well. Knead slightly on floured board. divide dough into 2
parts. shape into loaves and put in greased loap pan, filling only two thirds
of each pan. Dust with fine sugar. Bake in moderate oven. Makes 2 loaves.

For heavier Coconut Bread , use only 1 teaspoon naking powder and 1/2 cup milk.
Knead well on board, using extra flour., until dough is very firm. Shape into
loaves. score the tops and brush with sugar and water.
