Time 1h10m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup shortening (or coconut oil)
1/3 cup butter
2 cups flour
1 pinch salt
2 1/4 cups grated coconut
1/4 cup raisins, chopped
1/4 cup dried cherries, chopped
1 tablespoon grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon almond extract
1 1/3 cups evaporated milk
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter (for pan)
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350*F and lightly grease a bread pan. The original recipe calls for 2 bread pans, but the bread doesn't rise at all so it bakes nicely in one pan.
In a mixer cream together the brown sugar, shortening and butter.
Add flour, salt, grated coconut, raisins, cherries, nutmeg and mix well.
Stir in almond extract, evaporated milk, and water, until a firm dough is formed. (You may need to add additional water.).
Split the dough evenly between the two pans, and use a knife to cut a diagonal criss-cross pattern on the top of each loaf. Sprinkle 1 tbsp turbinado sugar over the top of each loaf.
Bake for about 1 hour, until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean (Or a digital thermometer reads 190*F.) Cool completely in the pans before removing.

Tips:

Ensure you have all the ingredients and equipment needed before starting the recipe.
Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
Follow the recipe instructions carefully, paying attention to measurements and cooking times.
Don't overcrowd the pot when boiling the potatoes; this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Use a potato ricer or masher to get the smoothest mashed potatoes.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it forms a smooth, slightly tacky ball.
Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Proof the dough in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and cooked through.
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
