Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
2
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
3
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and shape it into a round or oblong loaf. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the top with a little bit of coconut oil. Sprinkle the shredded coconut and cinnamon powder on top of the loaf.
4
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
