For a richer flavor, try using honey instead of sugar. If your kitchen is cold, place the bowl of dough in a slightly warmed oven (turned off!) to encourage rising. Ensure your yeast is active by checking for foaming after the initial 10-minute period. If it doesn't foam, your yeast may be too old.

01 Step
Recipe View Combine water and yeast in a bowl. Let sit until foamy, approximately 10 minutes.
02 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, combine flour, melted coconut oil, sugar, salt, and the yeast mixture. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, around 1 hour.
03 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a standard loaf pan thoroughly.
04 Step
Recipe View Gently punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into the prepared pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
05 Step
Recipe View Uncover the loaf and bake in the preheated oven. For an Italian-style loaf with a firmer crust, bake for 30 minutes. For a softer, sandwich-style bread, bake for 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

May 23, 2024The bread was a little dense, but next time I'll make sure my yeast is fresher and give it a bit longer to rise.
