Welcome back to Simply Local; today we're making coconut bake and smoked herring.

Prepare the dough by adding dry ingredients: salt, sugar, and yeast into a bowl.

Incorporate coconut into the dry ingredients until it looks grainy.

Grate in some nutmeg for flavor.

Add vegetable shortening to the mixture and incorporate it using your hands.

Add warm coconut milk gradually, mixing until a dough forms; adjust liquid as needed based on humidity.

Knead the dough on a flat surface for about 5 minutes until soft.

Let the dough rest while preparing the smoked herring.

Hydrate the smoked herring by soaking it in boiled water to soften and release salt.

Remove the fine bones from the smoked herring; keep it in larger pieces for texture.

Heat olive oil in a pan (optional) to wake up the flavors of the ingredients.

Add lime juice, garlic, and pimentos to the pan, mixing well.

Add the smoked herring to the mixture and combine everything together.
