Ingredients
13.5 oz coconut milk
½ tbsp instant yeast
2 oz sugar (1 oz if using condensed milk)
1 oz condensed milk (optional)
2 tsps salt
24 oz all-purpose flour + more for stickiness
1 oz room temperature butter + more melted for glazing
1 oz room temperature Glave oil (or shortening)


Process
Heat milk to 110F
Add sugar and yeast to milk and stir, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes (even with Instant)
To a bowl add all ingredients except flour, butter, and shortening
Mix to dissolve
Add flour and mix with a spoon
When flour is hydrated, add butter and oil or shortening
Use your hand to knead everything together on a work surface
When it gets much smoother start pinching and folding (8ish minutes)
Shape into a ball and place in a bowl, covered with a damp cloth
Rest for 30 minutes
Fold the dough into itself again and ball it up (some tackiness is ok, but you can sprinkle a light dusting of flour on the surface)
Use your fingers to press the dough flat, seam side up
Roll the dough into a log from the bottom up, folding the sides in as well, as you go
Pinch seams together
Grease and line a 10” pan and add dough log to fit snugly
Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap or an inverted pan of the same size
Rest for 30 minutes
Remove plastic and Spritz the loaf with water
Preheat oven to 350 F
Add a tray of water at the bottom of the oven
Bake for 30-65 minutes (I know, coconut milk needs time), turn 180 degrees half way
Remove from the oven and turn the oven up to 450 degrees
Baste with melted butter and put the bread back in, once the oven is up to temp, for 2-5 minutes
Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes
