I'm very jealous!  What a great creation.  I tried making a coconut bread a couple of times and was not happy with the results.  Mixing in the pineapple pepper was genius. 

I have to try this if I can find some of that beer.

very much Evon.  No coconut bread allowed around here but some day the wife will be away and I can give it a go.  Will have to find some coconut flour somewhere.   Used coconut juice for the liquid one time and I thought it was fine since you couldn't taste the coconut.  Pineapple sounds very unique too, I'm thinking some chunks too.

Love the Spelt Sprouts!  Very healthy bread as a result!

Nice baking as usual Evon!.  You are really hooked now!

Happy baking.

oh yeah!! say it again.. fresh ground and sprouted wheat, makes the bread whole lot of difference. texture especially, fresh and soft mmm... any recommendation for a user friendly home flour miller?

have been looking around and as soon as my 2nd Krup's coffee grinder gives up the ghost I will probably bread down adn get one. There Is a video on YouTube that compares Nutrimill and it should be found on a TFL post too.  The are some inexpensive had mills too but I don't have anything to clamp them down too that isn't granite and my wife would never allow clamping to that.    I know that the attachment for the KA mixer isn't very good and may put your mixer at risk of burn up.  Lots of folks have a Nutimill

A beer version of pinacolada in bread is just what hot weather orders! What more - maybe you should make a sweet version with gula melaka :). The Taiwan & Japanese fruit beers are a treat.

Pineapple, and coconut both contain plenty of enzymes i think. It maybe those two ingredients that contributed to the softness of the crumb.

 

Anyway, beautiful as usual Evon!
