Coconut Bread (Trinidad and Tobago)

Here’s a bread that I made for one of our themed, carry-in work lunches. It is from Paul Grimes and was in Gourmet (May 2003). It’s a sweet bread with a grainy texture similar to cornbread. We served it with a curried/fruity chicken salad and iced tea but it would also be nice with butter or marmalade and a cup of hot tea….or maybe toasted….

Adapted from Sweet Hands: Island Cooking from Trinidad & Tobago by Ramin Ganeshram. prep time includes the hour for letting dough rest while you do other things. It does not including the extra rising time. You can make the filling while the dough rests

Tropical Coconut Bread

Having a Luau party? Then this is a must but, you’ll want to make this throughout the year. The smell alone will get your significant other to release their grip on the remote, the kids will drift out of their bedrooms and the neighbors might come knocking. I dare to say, this might even be an aphrodisiac! It’s great alone but if you’re adventurous, slice some strawberries on it or drizzle chocolate syrup over it and top it with some whipped cream.
