It's time for Bread Bakers.........

BreadBakers
This month my friend, Sue of Palatable Pastime, is hosting and asked us to share recipes with coconut. I found this recipe for Coco Bread and then saw that Sue had also made a version of this recipe.  Great minds!!  Let's see what the others baked up for today..........
#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.

Coco Bread

This is a yeast bread but it reminded me of pita.  It is toothsome and delicious.  I served it as a side to a light dinner of Mock Turtle Soup one night and then served the leftovers warmed with jam for breakfast the next day.

These little breads stayed fresh for 3 days on the counter in a sealed container.  They would make a great lunchbox addition as our minds start turning back to reality and the looming scoolyear.

  1. This bread is so easy to make. And so much better than buying it stale or frozen at the market. It has way more uses than just Jamaican cuisine.
