Time 1h28m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 grated coconuts or 1 cup grated unsweetened coconut
2 cups water
3 tablespoons yeast
3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons salt
3 lbs flour (approximately)
1/4 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Directions: grate the coconut and discard any brown skins. Add 2 cups water to the coconut and let sit for 30 minutes. If using dried grated coconut, add an additional 1/4 cup water to compensate for the lack of moisture. Dissolve the yeast in 3/4 cup warm water. Add the sugar and 3 T of the flour and let rise until bubbles form. Add all remaining ingredients except flour. Add 3/4 of the flour.
  • If you are using a bread mixer, add additional flour until mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Mix for 5 minutes or until elastic. If mixing by hand, knead for about 8 minutes continually adding additional flour or until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover and let sit until doubled. Punch down dough. Divide dough into 30 balls. place on greased cookie sheet and flatten slightly. The shape should resemble English muffins, only a little smaller. Each bread should be at least 1 inch apart. Brush with melted butter. Let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Place bread in preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with additional butter. Serve warm or toasted.
