Mix warm water and yeast in a bowl until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, vegetable oil, and milk to the dry ingredients.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Punch down the risen dough and knead in eggs, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and coconut flakes.

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
