Directions

Add to Directions

Lightly grease a large bowl with melted coconut oil, and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add coconut oil, coconut milk, sugar, and salt to a medium-size microwaveable bowl; microwave on HIGH until sugar is dissolved and oil is melted, about 1 minute. (Or heat mixture in a small saucepan over low heat for 1 minute.) Stir to combine. Stir in yeast and egg. Add flour to coconut milk mixture, and stir together to form a soft dough.

Add to Directions

Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface, and gently knead until dough is smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes. Resist the urge to add more flour—the softer the dough, the lighter and more tender the coco bread. Place dough in greased bowl; cover lightly with a clean kitchen towel. Let dough rise in a warm place (75F), until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Add to Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F, placing rack in middle position. Punch down dough, and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Using a bread knife or bench scraper, cut dough in half; cut each half into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, and roll each into a 6- to 7-inch oval about the size of your hand. Oval should be about 1/4-inch thick. Brush surface of each oval with melted coconut oil, and fold in half crosswise to form a semicircle. Brush tops with more melted coconut oil. Place folded dough 1 to 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet; let rest at room temperature 15 minutes. Bake in preheated oven until light brown, about 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Image
Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too). BREADING  The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether! OTHER VEGGIES Why not switch up the recipe and add some of your other favorite veggies. Ensure you use ones that have a similar cook time, we love asparagus spears and...

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Image
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things...
