Bimini Bread Abm

We enjoyed this sweet white 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. Use of the coconut does not bring it's flavor but tenderness.
