How to Make Coconut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Stir in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 1 ½ cups shredded coconut.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and ½ cup unsalted butter, melted.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add ½ cup water, stirring until the batter is smooth.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
