Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup pineapple juice (no sugar added)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, unsweetened applesauce, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the frothy yeast mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
In a separate large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch together.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer until a slightly sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch the dough down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into rolls, as preferred.
Place the shaped bread into a greased loaf pan or evenly spaced on a baking sheet for rolls. Cover it again with a damp cloth and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) during the second rise.
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
