Coconut Bread
October 24th, 2009 by chuck
Here’s a beautiful loaf of bread, that’s not only stunning to look at, but delicious to eat. Coconut milk is a great substitute for cow’s milk in bread. The milk doesn’t have a strong flavor, but the hint of coconut is there. You can find a lot of quick bread recipes for coconut in them, but it’s not easy to find recipes for a yeast based coconut bread. That’s why I came up with this recipe.
I was very happy with the way this bread turned out. It’s actually more of a sweet bun bread. So, you can just pull a piece of these tasty sweet rolls right of the loaf itself. It also gives the loaf a unique look or you can slice it like sandwich bread. The coconut crumble topping really makes this bread special. I love the crunch and flavor of the butter, sugar and coconut topping. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
This recipe, as most of my recipes make two loaves. I can guarantee you will be happy you made two loaves and they won’t last long.

This looks delicious and I am going to make it this week. I wonder if it could be adapted for a bread maker?
What a coincidence. I baked a coconut sweetbread myself this weekend. Yours looks fanatstic!
Oh, wow…that bread looks incredible!!! I DO wish I had some and a cappuccino right now!
Reading your article reminds me of something my husband & I discovered in France last summer! They thrive on sweetbreads! I would really like to try this! Love your site- keep up the great work! ~W
I never would have thought to put coconut milk in yeast bread! Sounds delicious. That topping looks so crunchy and good.
Since I found your blog I didn’t buy bread in the supermarket. Thanks for the recipes! At the weekend I will make this coconut bread too
I made this bread last night. It was delicious!!! The topping is crunchy and the sweetness is just right. Thank you.
You know I’ve got to try this right?
Questions:
Can all my coconut milk and coconut flesh be fresh? Please say yes
About the powdered milk, can I substitute with liquid milk? Should the milk powder be skim milk powder?
Looks absolutely delicious ..
Wow! I think the photos on your blog are just beautiful. I made this coconut bread Monday night for dinner party with my sister and I was a little afraid that the photos might be better than the bread. Not so. I much regretted halving the recipe and only making one loaf. We had this with tea after a spicy Indian inspired meal and it was better than divine. My finicky nephew was actually in tears because he was afraid everyone would eat too much and he wouldn’t get enough. Next time I need to bring a loaf just for him. Thanks for the recipe. I have every intention of trying just about every bread you have posted now.
Every year, I give little mini breads and loafs as Christmas gifts.
They are cheap, tasty and always loved. I am SO making this for gifts! Just imagine, when everyone is up to here with nutmeg and cinnamon, and give this tropical and light coconut bread!
Thanks a million!
I love anything coconut and this bread looks so DELICIOUS!! Beautiful pictures–I’m so glad I found your blog.
That bread looks amazing.
My heart just fluttered, I love, love coconut. Thanks for a great recipe, no really, thank you!
Great looking loaf, however a bit disappointed with the flavor~not nearly enough coconut, even with the coconut milk. Needs coconut extract to really have the flavor come through. Nice, mildly sweet flavor, but will make additions next time I try.
Oh my goodness. I just love the form of this bread. Great idea.
that’s a delicious spongy delight; bookmarking it to try it soon and will keep you posted!!
Hello,
I tried this bread for teatime yesterday and I have to say everyone was conquered! my teddies enjoyed pulling and eating the fluffy bread; it was real fun time and I confirm it was all over this morning
the topping was superb ( added some crunchy and crumblinessto the soft fluffy bread)
thank you for the recipe!!

Very good my family ate it up in a few days. THe dry milk was left out of the step by step recipe and I didn’t notice till I was done. It still turned out really well. I added more flour and coconut to my crumble because it was too moist at first. I will be making this again.
