Looks interesting. Its a shame though, my little nephew (14yrs) can bake bread but i cant. ive never tried my hands on it even though I bake other pastries. Always afraid I might not get it right. Hmm...

You can do it. Give it a try again. Thanks

I love this your method. The last time I tried baking one. The outcome can only be left to your imagination. It was a disaster. My kitchen scatter. I became a laughing stock in my household. I swore never to attempt it again. But with this your method, I can only but try again make I prove my family wrong

You can do it bro! If you need assistance, PM me. I await your bread pics

dominique:
Noted, thanks. Wishing you the best in your pastry making endeavors

Thanks. I appreciate

Greenarrow01:
This is lovely.
First of all, can I use normal milk instead of coconut milk ?
Cos I don't have access to coconut milk, I mean maybe use powdered milk and mix with warm water,

Secondly can I place the dough on the tray inside my oven, ?

Thanks
Yes! You can use powdered milk. Just mix with warm water, you're good to go.

Yes, you can. It works well

Ishilove:
I doubt if cooking will ever be a strong point for me

It will. Give it a try!

pocohantas:
Hahahahaha. Oya make I come dey go.




You mean bakeries go through this process on a large scale, albeit mechanized? Wow! I need to start appreciating bread.

Yes but they use the bread machine though

Thanks Ezanafe and Nickibeauty

OloriOfMontreal:
I really like how you detailed the steps. Great work

Thanks boss. I took it step.by step so beginners/nom bakers can give it a try.

dominique:
Wow! I'm so going to try this. What kind of butter do you recommend for this, the soft blueband (which is a bit salty) or the harder one? So one doesn't need baking powder to make bread, I didn't know o

You can use President or Ambassador Butter. I actually used Simas Margarine. It's salted, hence no need to add salt to the recipe.

It's not advisable to use Blueband for baking. You don't need baking powder to make yeasted breads at all except one is making Banana bread and some special kind of breads

pocohantas:
Mehn, I read this again. Akposy this is cool! You just simplified the baking.

...but I am not fooled.

Maths in class: 2 + 2= ?

Coconut bread

Never heard of such before but I’m sure it’s gonna be very tasty.

I’ve been very busy lately but whenever I’m chanced I’ll try baking banana and chocolate bread.

I do buy it from bread stores. I decided to make mine and it came out nice.

I love banana bread. I don't think I'll like to try chocolate bread o

Step 9: Cool and Chow

When cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 mins. Proceed to remove the bread from the pan onto a cooling rack or plate.

Serve with your preferred spread, egg, akara, moi moi or tea! I had mine with milk and butter

Pics 1. Bread removed from the oven

[b]Note: Remove the baked bread from the pan after 10 mins else it will steam and become soggy. Nobody likes a soggy bread.

Cut the dough into 8 pieces if using a small pan like mine to give room for more proofing of the dough.

Step 8: Second Rise
Cover the dough and allow to rise for about 20 - 30 mins in a warm place. This helps with the dough shape and texture.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 180 degree Celsius. You can also use your stove or charcoal oven just ensure that the temperature is not very high or low else you'll end up with a burnt undercooked bread.

Pics 1. Risen dough coated with coconut milk

Step 7: Bake
Coat the surface of the risen dough with egg or milk. Place in your preheated oven and bake for about 25 - 30 mins.
You will know it is fully cooked when the top is golden brown

Pics 2. Bread in the oven

Step 6: Punch Down (Deflate) the Dough and Shape It
Punch down the risen dough. This helps the bread have a consistent and good texture.

Shape the dough to your desired shape by cutting into 8 equal parts, rolling and shaping into a ball shape. Place in a greased/floured pan.

Step 5: First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel or cling film and allow to rise for about 50 mins - 1 hr or till it doubles its size.

Pics 1. Kneaded dough in the oiled bowl
Pics 2. Risen dough after 55 mins

You can see the difference. The transformation is just crazy. This is the job of the yeast

Step 4: Knead the dough
Kneading is very important for the bread texture. It allows the gluten form, which enable the dough to be light and fluffy. You can either knead by hand or with a dough mixer.

Transfer the sticky dough to a clean and well floured surface. Knead till the dough is soft and elastic. This should take about 10 minutes if one is kneading with the hands.

Pics 1. A well floured surface
Pics 2. Sticky dough on the surface
Pics 3. Dough after 5 mins of kneading with hands
Pics 4. Dough after kneading for 10 mins

Step 2: Activate your yeast

This is a very simple process! Mix about 1 tbsp sugar and coconut milk (or milk) together.

Note: Ensure the coconut milk is not too hot or cold, you need it to be warm so.the yeast can be activated. If you're making normal bread (without coconut), you can mix powdered milk with warm water to get the 1 cup milk.

After mixing the milk and sugar together, sprinkle the yeast on the surface. Cover and allow to sit for about 10 mins. After 10 mins, you will see the yeast pulp on the surface. This here proves that the yeast is activated

Pics 1. This is how an activated yeast looks like

Step 3: Add the Other Ingredients

Add in the egg, remaining sugar, flour and shredded coconut. Don't add the butter yet.
Mix together till a sticky dough is formed. Add in the butter and mix together.
