This coconut bake is soft and buttery! It is perfect with a spread of butter and a slice of cheese when hot. It stays soft for several days and it makes a mean sandwich with any filling! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
6 cups all purpose flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
4 tsp yeast
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup grated coconut (Do not squeeze dry)
2 1/4 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp coconut milk powder (optional)
1 tsp mixed essence
1/4 cup flour for kneading
Extra butter for brushing the finished bakes
Bake the coconut bakes in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Closer to the end of baking, brush the top of the bakes with butter for a golden color, and then brush again with butter when out of the oven so the tops stay soft.
