Raspberry & white chocolate coconut bread FAQ:

What is the baking time for Raspberry & White Chocolate Coconut Bread?

Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

How should I store leftover Coconut Bread?

Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Can I use fresh raspberries instead of dried coconut meat?

Yes, you can use fresh raspberries instead of dried coconut meat. However, keep the dried coconut meat in the recipe for the best flavor and texture. If you want to replace it, consider using an equivalent amount of another nut or fruit.

What should I do if my bread is dense?

A dense bread could mean it was over-mixed or baked at too low a temperature. Ensure to mix only until combined and check your oven’s temperature with a thermometer for accuracy.

Can I substitute buttermilk with another ingredient?

Yes, you can substitute buttermilk with milk mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using. Regular milk can also work but may alter the texture slightly.

Tips:

- Tip 1: Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent them from bleeding too much color into the bread.

- Tip 2: For an added crunch, lightly toast the dried coconut meat before mixing it into the batter.

- Tip 3: Fold the raspberries and white chocolate gently into the batter to prevent breaking the berries and creating streaks in your bread.

- Tip 4: Line your baking tin with parchment paper for easy removal and a cleaner presentation.

- Tip 5: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps to firm up the bread and makes slicing easier.
