Coconut-Scented Brown Bread Recipe

Using a fork, mix 8 cups whole wheat flour, with yeast, coconut sugar, and salt in a bowl.

Mix in coconut oil with your hands until well distributed and flaky. Mix in 4 1/2 cups water.

Mix in remaining 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon water until dough has a moist, spongy consistency.

Divide dough into 2 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

Dust 2 large bowls with 1 tablespoon flour. Place 1 ball of dough into each bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

Place in a warm place to rise for about 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Grease 2 loaf pans with cooking spray.

Punch dough down gently and shape into loaves.

Place loaves in the prepared pans. Snip top with kitchen scissors to create spiky tops.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.

Turn off the oven and leave the loaves inside for about 15 minutes.

Remove from pans and allow to cool for 30 minutes.

Cut each loaf into 12 to 16 slices.
