Time 1h

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups grated coconut
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 ounces margarine
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cherries
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 package dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 egg, gently beaten
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, margarine, raisins, cherries, salt, and flour. Mix to combine.
  • In a measuring cup, mix the yeast with the warm water. Add to the flour mixture, along with the egg. The dough should be sticky.
  • Leave the dough in the mixing bowel and let it rest, loosely covered with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Divide dough into 2 pieces. Gently knead each piece on a generously floured board and place in 2 buttered loaf pans. Let the dough rest until it doubles in size, once more. Bake until golden in color, about 50 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Mix sugar and water and brush over hot sweetbread. Leave to cool.
