    List of Ingredients




    1 cup milk
    3 tablespoons butter
    2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup lime juice
    1 teaspoon salt
    3 1/4 cups bread flour -- divided
    2/3 cup toasted coconut
    1/2 cup dried tart cherries
    1 tablespoon grated lime peel
    2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger OR 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger

    Recipe



    Put milk and butter in a medium saucepan; heat until warm (105 F degrees to 115 F degrees). Pour milk mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add yeast; stir until dissolved. Add brown sugar, lime juice and salt; mix well. Add 2 cups bread flour. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until flour is moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in remaining 1-1/4 cups bread flour, coconut, dried cherries, lime peel and ginger; mix until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.

    Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, adding more bread flour, if needed. Place dough in a greased mixing bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and a cloth. Let rise in a warm place (80 to 85 degrees) about 1 hour, or until double in size.

    Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Let rest 15 minutes. Shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 8-1/2 ð4-1/2-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place 45 to 60 minutes, or until double in size.

    Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden and loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Remove from pan immediately. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    To toast coconut: Spread coconut in an ungreased pan. Bake in a preheated 350F oven 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden brown.


    YIELD: 1 Loaf
