Ingredients

• 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (140g) fine yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or less, for a more savory bread)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk (canned, full-fat or light)
• 1/4 cup (60ml) pineapple juice (or water for a less sweet version)
• 1 tablespoon lime zest (from 1-2 limes)
• Optional: 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut for added texture

Directions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or a standard loaf pan.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, coconut milk, pineapple juice, and lime zest until well combined. If using, stir in the optional shredded coconut here.
4. Combine Wet & Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to a tough bread.
5. Pour & Bake: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.
6. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Bermuda Johnny Bread Delight!
