Coconut Bake (Trinidad and Tobago)

Serves 8

Ingredients

Method

500 g. Flour
1 Grated Coconut
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
60 ml. Butter, Melted
250 ml. Water

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Grease a baking sheet.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, grated coconut, baking powder, and salt.

Add the melted butter and water, mixing until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a minute. Shape the dough into a round and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Let the bread cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Serve the coconut bake warm, with butter, cheese, or saltfish buljol if desired.
