Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and grated coconut.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water while kneading until you have a soft dough that no longer sticks to your fingers.
- Let the dough rest, covered with a tea towel, for 20 minutes somewhere warm.
- Shape into a round, flattened loaf about 3 cm thick, then place it on an oiled baking tray.
- Bake at 180 °C for 35 to 40 minutes, until the crust is golden and a knife inserted in the centre comes out dry.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing.
Variations and tips
Sweeter version. Add a spoonful of sweetened condensed milk to the water for a more indulgent bread.
Using what's easy to find here. Grated coconut is sold in the baking aisle of most supermarkets.
