Bimini Bread Abm

Rita~'s Note:

We enjoyed this bread when we visited Fort Lauderdale. I never had this and one bite I couldn’t stop eating it! You can serve with honey butter. This is a sweet bread. The bread we enjoyed was not dense. The Bimini (meaning "two islands") islands, consisting of North, South and East Bimini and Cay Sal Bank, are part of the Bahamian island chain, located south of Florida in the Caribbean. With research and what I had in my pantry this is what I created.I must say it is quite close to what we had in Florida a restaurant named Aruba.

I cut this recipe in half to make 1 small loaf. I agree with chef Boomette that the bread was dense. It rose very, very little.

I had to add more flour to the dough. Near 1 cup. I used the coconut flakes but couldn't taste it. I baked it in only 1 large pan. The bread is a bit too dense for our taste. But the next day I made french toast with it, and it was so yummy : French Toast Thanks Rita :) Made for New Kids on the block tag game
