Best Trinidad Coconut Sweet Bread Recipe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ย. 2020
- Trinidad sweet bread is a dense, rustic bread made with fresh coconut, raisins, mixed fruit and spices. It is made in Trinidad especially during the holidays including Christmas and Easter but great for an all year long snack or breakfast. My sweet bread recipe results in a bread that's addictive and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. A perfect balance of texture and flavors!

Ria's Sweet Bread Recipe
4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 cups brown sugar, plus 2 tbs
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tbs grated ginger, optional
¼ tsp Himalayan salt
3 cups finely grated coconut (14 oz)
½ cup seedless dark raisins
½ cup candied mix fruit, optional (mis peel)
½ cup (1 stick) organic sweet cream butter, melted¬
3/4 cup evaporated milk, or more as needed
1 tbs pure vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten, optional
Bowl, measuring cup, measuring spoon, 2 (9x5) baking pans,
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
1. Grease two bread pans (9x5) or one large and one small and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
3. Stir in coconut, raisins and mixed fruit (if using).
4. In a measuring cup, add evaporated milk, eggs if using, melted butter and whisk to combine. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until combined. The dough should be slightly sticky, if not add more evaporated milk. If you are not using the eggs, you will definitely need to use more evaporated milk.
5. Divide dough, form into a loaf with your hands and place in prepared pans. Place in the oven and bake until fully cooked, the outside is dark golden brown and a toothpick or skewer comes out clean, about 60 - 90 mins.

WITH LOVE AND BEST DISHES,
RIA B. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I tried your recipe last week and it turned out beautifully. I served it to friends and one comment from a Trini friend was "this reminds of how my grandma made it". Another (from India) said "I could eat a slice with afternoon tea everyday". I'll be making another soon as it's all gone and Xmas is weeks away. Thanks, Ria. 🇨🇦
Happy to hear and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Always appreciated! 🥰

Absolutely delicious sweet bread recipe. I made this to take to a thanksgiving dinner here in the USA and it was a BIG HIT.
One of my favorites as well! Thanks for letting me know! All the best to you and happy holidays! ❤️
I really liked your smooth cooking style.
Oh how I miss my grandma rip she made the best sweet bread
Same, but my great grandmother 💔💔
Wow this sweetbread looks soo delicious you did an awesome job!!!Will be making soon!!!
Thanks for sharing!❤❤
Eureka! I have searched far and wide for a recipe for sweet bread that did not crumble when cut up, or dry out after 3 days! I found it! This is a wonderful recipe that I will keep forever. She's right, it is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and most importantly, it maintains its integrity for a very long time. Texture and taste are just absolutely wonderful. The recipe makes 2 loaves. With other recipes I would have to gobble both loaves up within a week, because they dried out so quickly, but with Ria's recipe , the first one lasted me a week and I'm on the second one now ,and it's still soft and delicious! Thank you Ria!
Thanks so much!🥰
