Coconut Milk White Bread

Do not confuse canned coconut milk with canned cream of coconut, which is even more concentrated and sweeter than the milk. No need for extra fat or sugar in this moist, slightly dense-textured bread; the coconut milk naturally provides both. Be sure to shake the can well before opening it since the solids may have settled to the bottom. This is the perfect bread to serve with Thai food, with crawfish omelets, or with barbecued jerk chicken, cole slaw, and the “holy trinity” of Creole food—
