Bread Machine Coconut Bread
"So good we ate the bottom crust! I had 1/2 can of coconut milk left and found this recipe to utilize it. Aroma and taste are delightful, it toasts beautifully-definitely worth making."

Used unrefined coconut oil. Didn't have any coconut extract, but didn't miss it. Everything else was the same... absolutely delicious! -
This is a great bread. I followed the recipe exactly. The little bits of coconut flakes came though nicely with each bite. And, the coconut extract really added to the flavor. This is a great loaf of coconut bread which does not have an overly robust flavor of coconut. I did use the sweet bread setting and took it out of my machine 6 minutes early. It was getting too browned for me. I will definitely make this again and again. You will not be disappointed with this bread. -
this bread is great

Easy to make, but not a lot of flavor. Basically, this just tasted like my regular loaf of homemade bread with a hint of coconut flavor. I did not use the coconut extract, but I did use coconut oil in place of the veggie oil. Maybe the recipe needs the coconut extract it calls for to really give it the coconut flavor I was expecting.

The flavor of this bread was very nice, but the quality of the bread was very dry. The only variable I can see would be the coconut milk, so perhaps try a little bit more, or add a little warm water. It is nice toasted, and I imagine that with the dry texture making french toast would be a very good vehicle for it, I'll try that, too.

Found a white bread recipe on a baking flour bag, (Artisan baking flour, LEHI roller mills) Bought it from 99 cent only store, 2 lbs bag! 1 1/8 cup of warm water, 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, 2 3/4 cup of baking flour, 2 tbs of sugar, 1 tsp of salt. I noticed there was no butter or any oil. Went and modified the recipe. Instead of water, used coconut water, instead of white sugar, used coconut sugar, replaced 1/4 cup of white flour with coconut flour, added oil, used coconut oil, about 1 1/2 tbs, also added coconut extract 1 tsp. Used basic bread setting on bread machine, for 1.5 lbs loaf. Now it is my new favorite bread recipe. And I got all these ingredients from 99 c only store here in s Cali!
