List of Ingredients
Boija-Coconut Corn Bread
2 1/4 ounce packets active dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups com meal
1 cup finely grated coconut
1/2 cup sugar
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sweet butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon ground all spice
water to mix
Recipe
Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of lukewarm water. Pour into a mixing bowl and add half the flour to make a sponge. Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Add all the rest of the ingredients and enough water, about 1 cup, to make a stiff batter, beating thoroughly with a wooden spoon to incorporate the sponge evenly. Pour into 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pans. Cover loosely with a cloth and leave in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 1/2 hour. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the bread begins to shrink from the sides of the pan and the top is lightly browned. Let cool a few minutes in a pan. Then turn out on a cake rack to complete cooling.
Makes two 9-inch loaves.
