Coconut Bread

*2 cups Fresh Grated Coconut, I used Flesh of 1 Coconut, used food processor

*4 cups Flour, extra flour as needed but dough will be slightly sticky

*2 teaspoons Baking Powder

*1 and 1/2 cups Sugar

*1 and 1/2 cups Water

*Aluminum Foil

*Pam Cooking Spray

Bake in a preheated oven at 350*F. 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours

Instructions:

Mix/whisk together in a bowl flour and baking powder and sugar.

Then stir in the coconut and water, alternating 1/3 of each at a time.

Stir ingredients until it makes semi-sticky dough, adding extra flour as needed, mix and divide into 5 pieces and form dough into loaves.

Use 5 pieces of aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray and add a loaf to the center of each piece of foil. Then fold foil around the bread loaves. If you ever made tinfoil dinners I wrap them like a tinfoil dinner. Place and bake the foil covered loaves on a 1/2 baking sheet/cookie sheet.
