Coco Bread

Coco Bread is a Jamaican staple made with coconut milk, which gives it a light sweetness and tender, buttery texture. I love filling my coco bread with beef patties, but this fluffy bread is perfect for any sandwich.

Equipment

Measuring Spoons and Cups for wet and dry ingredients
Whisk
2 Large Bowls
Rolling Pin
Large Baking Sheet

Ingredients

3 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour plus more for dusting
2 1/4 tsp Quick Rise Instant Yeast or 1 pkg
3 tbsp Sugar can be reduced to 2tbsp
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted and slightly cooled, plus 1 tbsp
1 large Egg whisked
1 cup Coconut Milk warmed to temp range of 105° and 115°F (warm to the touch)
2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter and set aside.
In a large bowl, add flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt and whisk until well combined, set aside. In another bowl, add the melted (slightly cooled) butter, warmed coconut milk, and whisked egg. Whisk mixture together until well combined.
Add half the flour mixture to the egg mixture bowl and stir, continue to add the remaining flour until a soft dough has formed (soft texture is good). Then, turn dough (transfer) unto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until a smooth dough ball forms, which bounces back quickly when poked.
Place dough in a large mixing bowl, and drizzle with approx. 2 tbsps of olive oil, ensuring all surfaces of the dough is fully coated. Cover with a damp dish towel or shower cap, placing in a warm area for an hour or until dough has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough, to remove the air and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into about 8-10 equal pieces and roll each dough into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each piece into about a 6-inch diameter round (about 1/4-inch thick). Then, brush the surface of the dough with melted butter or olive oil and fold in half. Transfer each piece on the prepared baking sheet then let rest for another 30 minutes and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Bake in oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, brush with melted butter, serve warm and enjoy!
