Dough Boy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 cups flour
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups of grated coconut
1 -2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon yeast (instant)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Sift together the flour and salt. Cut the margarine and shortening into the flour mixture.
Add spices and yeast, followed by coconut and water.
Knead the mixture for 5 minutes, score with a knife. Leave to stand until almost twice its' size (approx. 1 hour). Form dough into a round mound or loaf shape.
Gently place bread on baking sheet. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Check for doneness by \"knocking\" on the bottom of the bread; if it sounds hollow, it is done. If it is not done, continue baking for another 15 to 30 minutes if needed.
