Notes: All of these together with raspberries is a killer dish! The bread itself is a little dry, and I might make the sauce a little more spicy, but it is so coconuty and good. You have to try it. This is actually a nice cake base too. I might use it again for some other desserts. I made this after a long day of sitting in the sun, and buying a new bike!!! I ate no carbs all day oddly enough, and so I thought making a bread would be a good idea. I have a list of recipe ideas in case I get stumped, and I found this idea on there. I am so glad I made that list! I hope you guys like this.
