Mix the dry ingredients together.

Add 1 stick of softened margarine to the mixture.

Pour in 1 1/3 cups of warm coconut milk (not hot) and mix until everything sticks together.

Knead the dough for about 3 to 5 minutes until smooth.

Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a cloth to let it rise until double in size (about 1 to 1.5 hours).

Roll the dough out and divide it into 8 equal pieces (or desired size).

Shape each piece into a ball and cover to let rise again until double in size (about 1 to 1.5 hours).

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the bread for 17 minutes until nice and brown.

Brush melted margarine on top of the bread after baking.
