I just found this on honduras.com and simply had to save it to try. I just have to find the fresh coconuts first. Prep time is a total guess but I'm allowing for rising time.

How To Make honduran coconut bread – pan de coco

  • Step 1
    Puncture the eyes of the coconut shell and strain the coconut milk into a bowl. Peel and grate the coconut. Add about 2 1 / 2 cups warm coconut milk. Mix well.
  • Step 2
    Dissolve yeast in 1 / 4 cup water warm, add a tbsp. of sugar and one tbsp of flour.
  • Step 3
    When you add the yeast mix also add the remaining ingredients. Knead well until smooth. If you feel that the dough is a little hard, you can add a little more coconut milk or plain water if there isn't enough remaining.
  • Step 4
    In a large oiled pan put the dough, turn the dough to be completely oiled, cover with a blanket and leave it up to rise about two hours.
  • Step 5
    Divide dough into portions, depending on size of the molds to use for baking. Knead and form into loaves and place in greased pans.
  • Step 6
    Allow to rise again . Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the molds and allow to cool.
