As already mentioned, I’m on a bit of a ‘bread’ wave at the moment. The most recent of which I’ve made is Coconut bread. I think I first tried Coconut bread In Sydney, which makes me think that it might be a particularly Australian phenomenon, but I’m not sure. I have definitely had Banana bread as a breakfast in several Melbourne cafes so it seems likely that the loaf is popular over the ditch. From what I can gather, it’s basically a different format for a muffin, but makes you feel better about eating as it’s called ‘bread’. 

The recipe I used is here, it’s a Bill Granger one. I used a combo of long-thread coconut and the finer stuff for some variation in texture.  

I believe a slice of this must be served hot, so either cut a piping-hot and crumbly slice straight from the oven and slather it in butter, or keep it sealed in the fridge so it firms up a little and pop a slice in the toaster till the coconut is crispy and brown. It doesn’t contain a lot of butter or sugar so next time I think I might add blueberries (which I always have in the freezer) for some added sweetness and, of course, smother in butter to eat.
