Equipment

  • Mixing bowls Large and medium sized bowls
  • 9x13 inch baking pan Or similar sized loaf pan

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm coconut milk
  • 0.25 cup whole milk or ¼ cup more coconut milk
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Dry Ingredients

  • 0.33 cup sugar
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour approximately
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Glaze

  • 5 tablespoons honey
  • 1 stick salted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine warm coconut milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • Add the remaining sugar, oil, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and honey.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze by melting the butter and honey together.
  • Once the bread is out of the oven, immediately brush the glaze over the top.

Notes

Adjust flour as needed depending on the humidity. The bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
