In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the instant yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, unsweetened coconut milk, salt, curry powder, and ground turmeric to the yeast mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the flour, about half a cup at a time, mixing continuously with a wooden spoon or a dough hook on a stand mixer. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes by hand or 4-6 minutes in a mixer.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and turn it to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gently punch down the dough to release any air bubbles.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly. Shape the dough into a round or loaf shape, depending on your preference.
Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan. Let the dough rise again for about 20-30 minutes until it puffs up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.
