Activate the yeast by mixing 1/4 cup warm water, 1/2 tbsp yeast, and 1/4 tsp white sugar, stir and let sit for a few minutes.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups plus 6 tbsp all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp plus 2 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tbsp plus 1 tsp butter, cutting the butter into the flour.

Add the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.

Gradually add 4 oz coconut milk and 2 oz warm water to the mixture, incorporating it well.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until it's not too sticky, then place it back in the bowl and cover with a dish towel for 40-45 minutes to rise.

After rising, shape the dough into a rectangle and roll it up, pinching the ends to seal.

Place the shaped dough in a loaf pan and cover with a towel to rise for another hour.

Preheat the toaster oven to 350°F and bake the loaf for about 40 minutes.

Check if the bread is done by tapping it; it should sound hollow.
