Paulette this a simpler recipe which I will definitely try, I love the color as well as the showing of coconut in the middle, it looks delicious, good job, thanks for sharing!!!!
Hi Paulette you would not believe the day I've had, I watched your video earlier but did not have enough time to comment, so let me do that now, When you slice into that sweetbread my mouth watered because I had not yet had breakfast. I am telling you give me a slice of sweetbread in the morning and I can go right through lunch time without being hungry, a bowl of oatmeal and I am hungry before lunch time, go figure lol. Thanks for sharing
Aaaaawe!!! I know what you mean, lol, ohh that bread is the bomb!! I have some in the freezer because I baked twice. I can imagine, the big day is almost here, enjoy and stay safe. Thanks for taking the time out to watch. Xoxo
Good recipe...LOVE IT WITH THE COCONUT IN THE CENTER....MOST DELICIOUS WAY TO MAKE COCONUT BREAD....WITH THE COCONUT OIL TO.......FROM BARBADOS........LIVE......DOUGLASVILLE GA..........GO HOME OFTEN.........GO LUCK ON ALL YOUR RECIPES
Ohhhh wow. hello Rudolph, I was thinking of another Rudolph Gibson that lives in England, that is amazing but Douglasville!!! Ohhh my, I will be moving close to you very soon. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, please stay in touch and blessings. Xo
Wow this looks so delicious I wish I could have a slice right now. I don't think that there is anything that you can't bake or cook. Always have to comment on how clean your kitchen always is. Wished you shipped. Hope you had a wonderful mother's day.
Beautiful sister wow 😮 I'll try this, this weekend. That looks delicious sis, I love to eat it with my tea. I'll try making it in my bread machine and see how it comes out. What 😦 I think I love it is. Thank you for sharing
Looks really good Paulette. I know it’s delicious because of all the coconut you have added to the amount of flour and the extra flavouring of the coconut oil.
The sweetbread looks amazing, Paulette. So moist. I have to try this recipe with coconut oil but won't do so until around the holidays. Thanks again for sharing your recipes and time with us.
I am watching with Harold. He just said that he knows I can do this. I laughed (I think I can too). Question- can I purchase grated coconut? I hope so … because I’m not likely to buy a coconut, crack it and grate it although Harold said he would do it if needed.
lol I think you can too Ms. Shelly! I have faith in you if Harold does! lol You are not about to do that, me neither lol I hope its just the regular shredded coconut in the pack all jazzed up lol
Hi Paulette. Yeah for 100,000 views. 🎉 🎉 Kudos to you my friend! 👏🏼👏🏼 You’re the best! 👏🏼👏🏼 We will reach the million views! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 🙏🏼 l absolutely love anything with coconut. I know this recipe is just as delicious as the first one. The only thing left to say is; I want some. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of your week. ~Hugs 🌹🕊🌹
Hi paulette usually use the rub in method for my bread using Mello Kreem and Glowspread . Very few times I I have done it like this when feeling lazy though. Think I will try the coconut oil instead of margarine or butter.
Hey sweetheart, good to see your beautiful face. 1million views congratulations hun👍🏿. I love me some coconut sweet bread. It looks soooooo delicious.A cup of tea and a slice or two of that delicious coconut sweetbread would be nice. I know that taste real good. You're the best.Thanks for sharing. UK 19.02 Tuesday💕🇬🇧
Oh boy, baking every weekend? I dont know about that! lol That looks so good! You did such a great job with your detailed instructions. I really was smelling it through the screen I just wish I could taste it through the screen too lo THat coconut in the middle looked absolutely perfect! I love using the cherry juice too when I bake lol. I wish I had a fancy mixer lol. THis looks' so good Ms. Paulette!
Lol, well, maybe every 2 weeks or so, heeheeee!! I know you could smell it, it would have knocked you over, so so good!!! Thanks so much for watching, not to worry, you will get a mixer soon, I've had mine way before I started TH-cam. Xoxo
Hi Paulette, a friend of mine from ST.Vincent took me to a Bajan bakery in Brooklyn, NY and introduced me to Heavy coconut bread with a coconut filling in the middle of the bread and it didn't have any fruit in it, I fell in love with that bread, do you know what I'm talking about?I hope I remembered the right island that made this bread, if so that I remembered right would I just don't add the fruit or it is a different recipe all together, looking forward to your response 😀.
Hi Paulette, I am not sure, the only think I can think of is the turnovers but that is not really a heavy bread, not sure at all, so sorry. But thanks so much for watching, always appreciated. Xo
@@pauletteroulhac3181 yes you can leave out the fruits if you want, as a child I did not like the fruits so when I started making it I left out the fruits, however I now use them. Growing up in a shop the sweet bread Bakeries sold had raisins in them and some people picked them out including me. These days people put in a mixture of fruits, in fact I find that Trinidadians use more fruits in theirs and call it Sweet Bread while Barbadians use more coconut and call it Coconut Sweet Bread. Fruits can be optional.
@@EverythingPaulette I used to pick the raisins out of my Coconut Sweet Bread for years, even now the big Bakeries use only raisins, smaller ones may put cherries on top, home bakers may use a mixture of fruits. I do not like alot of fruits, I have made it without fruits, my coconut is what I like. I usually use raisins in the mixture and then put cherries on top, however next time I make it I will try a mixture of fruits.
@@bonitaweekes4366 Hello Bonita, I have a cousin that picks hers out as well, yes a lot of people do not like like the fruits but I love them, lol, plus I use them to help sweetened the bread and use less sugar. Thank you so much for watching dear and have a blessed week. Xo

Okay, I laughed aloud at “the hardest part is the preparation”. Yes, you took the words right out my mouth. 😂🤣😂 Question - because, yes, I will use my kitchen aide mixer, do I add more flour in the kneading process?
Can I use butter or regular oil instead of coconut oil. What kind of coconut oil did you use. Also, can I use pre shredded coconut? Sorry for all of the questions. Have a blessed day!☺️
Hello Debra! First of all thank you so much for watching, I appreciate your support. Originally, I used to use the Crisco before I started using the coconut oil, any organic coconut oil would be good and I usually get that from Bj's; not sure if you are good with the Crisco but to be honest with you I have never made it with just the butter or regular oil. I would strongly suggest the crisco if not the coconut oil. Yes you can use the pre shredded coconut but you know fresh is best. Please let me know how it came out for you and Happy and blessed Christmas. ❤️

How did I missed your comment, you know it was not intentional, so happy you liked it. The holidays are right around the corner!!! Thanks so much for watching Marlene. Xoxo
I tried this recipe and I didn't like the taste or texture, the bread was very dry and crumbly. I am bajan and I know a good sweet bread. This did not work for me. I've never heard of baking with coconut oil but was will to try an alternative. It needed something to hold the flour together other than coconut oil. I will try it again but will use either a bit of butter or Lard as well.
I'm watching your videos here in Brazil, my dear friend. God bless you and your family 🙌
Wonderful!!!! Thanks so much for watching, have a blessed week ahead. Xo

How did I missed your comment, you know it was not intentional, so happy you liked it. The holidays are right around the corner!!! Thanks so much for watching Marlene. Xoxo
I tried this recipe and I didn't like the taste or texture, the bread was very dry and crumbly. I am bajan and I know a good sweet bread. This did not work for me. I've never heard of baking with coconut oil but was will to try an alternative. It needed something to hold the flour together other than coconut oil. I will try it again but will use either a bit of butter or Lard as well.
