Am always looking forward to the weekend when I take out time to bake something delicious 🤤 that makes the kitchen smells so good. Especially those homemade loafs 🥯that taste fresh with flavors. And today’s recipe is a roasted coconut with drops of lime round loaf.
This recipe is so simple and straightforward. The only thing we need do is to chip our fresh coconut 🥥 in small dice and roast it slightly in the oven to obtain that crips and burnt 🔥taste that leaves a long lasting flavors in coconut recipes. The drops of lime an added bit of sourdough taste with aftermath flavor to the loaf 🥯.
I love trying different kinds of bread baking with various added ingredients as it gives us room to know what flavors to stick to if we always share them with family or loved ones who makes second choice in choosing with us. And my daughter confirms she loves this loaf due to the roasted coconut chips that made it taste great 😊
