Method

Combine coconut, sugar, yeast and 1/2 cup warm water in a small non-reactive bowl and stir briefly. Set aside until mixture is swollen and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, coconut milk and butter. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix until well combined

Form dough into a ball, dust generously all over with flour and transfer to a large clean bowl. Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm spot to let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Gently deflate dough and divide into 8 pieces and roll each into a ball.

Arrange balls of dough on a large oiled baking sheet, spacing them 3 to 4 inches apart. Set aside in a warm spot, uncovered, to let rise until doubled in size again, about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake bread until deep golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or set aside to let cool to room temperature.
