Chris, Thanks a mil. This is the best coconut bake I have ever made. Really fluffy and nice. The only substitute I made was using a little more grated coconut.

Hi Chris
Just tried this recipe and it is great. You really have to add some more liquid to it. However, did 3 1/2 cups of white flour and 1 cup wheat. Trying to be a bit health conscious. LOL

I HATE grating coconut also. My good friend from Guyana told me that after cracking the coconut and removing the husk, slice the nut into thin pieces. Then put them ( use 1 hand full of the sliced coconut with the water) in a blender/food processor and add just enough water to make them blend. I use the "Crush Ice" option. Strain the water out of the blended coconut and reuse that same water to blend the other pieces of coconut. This does the job in less than half the time it would take to grate a whole coconut, and because it's so fast, I would do 2 or 3 coconuts at once and freeze the excess. The texture comes out the same as grating and you can keep the coconut milk/water for baking to keep it in your recipe...just adjust for any extra added liquids you would have had to put in your recipe. You gotta love your American/Caribbean friends for their tips on efficiency! P.S. Thank you ever so much for this website....You have brought back the Trini out of me :)

I made this bread and it had a very bland taste, practically no taste at all to it. Is it supposed to taste that way. should it taste more like coconut?

I would try to stick to the recipe, simply because it can over-proof and this is just the way I know.

Hi Chris I always enjoy a hot slice of coconut bake anytime. It goes well with most sides. Thank you.

Chris, have you thought of using frozen grated coconut? It is easily found in the Asian market. Some are from the Philippines, some from Vietnam or Thailand. I've been using the frozen grated coconut in my Indonesian recipes because I can't be bothered with grating the coconut myself. LOL. Of course, nothing beats freshly grated coconut.

Yum! Fresh out the oven coconut bake is the best! Made some a couple weeks ago (different recipe) and just about demolished half of it in one sitting. Never tried it with yeast though, just baking powder. Will give it a go next time, see if it makes for a fluffier bake. And you're right, it is very hard to explain what a "bake" is to some folks, but flatbread sounds about right...
