Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or a standard loaf pan.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, coconut milk, pineapple juice, and lime zest until well combined. If using, stir in the optional shredded coconut here.
  4. Combine Wet & Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to a tough bread.
  5. Pour & Bake: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve: Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Bermuda Johnny Bread Delight!

Recipe Success Tips

Ingredient Substitutions & Variations

  • Gluten-Free: For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend that contains xanthan gum.
  • Sugar Alternatives: You can reduce the sugar further or substitute it with a natural sweetener like maple syrup (use 1.5 tablespoons and reduce coconut milk by 1.5 tablespoons) or a sugar-free alternative.
  • Dairy-Free: This recipe is already dairy-free if you use a plant-based butter alternative, as it uses coconut milk.
  • Tropical Twists:
    • Mango Magic: Add 1/2 cup of finely diced fresh mango to the batter for extra sweetness and tropical flavor.
    • Pineapple Punch: Instead of pineapple juice, use 1/4 cup of crushed pineapple (well-drained) for more texture.
    • Spiced Delight: A pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon can enhance the tropical notes.
  • Savory Swaps: For a truly savory Johnny Bread, omit the sugar and pineapple juice. Consider adding 1/4 cup of finely chopped scallions, a pinch of cayenne pepper, or 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter. This makes an excellent dinner recipe with bread accompaniment.

Cultural Variations

  • Traditional Bermudian Johnny Bread is often simpler, focusing on cornmeal, flour, water/milk, and sometimes a little sugar, baked or fried until golden. Our "Delight" version takes inspiration from this staple and infuses it with subtle tropical flavors (coconut, pineapple, lime) to create a unique, more dessert-like or breakfast-friendly twist, while still maintaining its versatility as a dinner recipe with bread.

Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions

  • Make-Ahead: The dry ingredients can be whisked together a few days in advance and stored in an airtight container. When ready to bake, simply combine with the wet ingredients.
  • Room Temperature: Store leftover Johnny Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
  • Refrigeration: For longer storage, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: This bread freezes beautifully! Wrap individual slices or the whole loaf (once completely cooled) tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil. Store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat in the oven or microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recommended Kitchen Tools

Tools and ingredients that can help you cook more easily and consistently.

Time-Saving Tools & Ingredients

Problem: Mixing bread dough by hand can be quite a workout and sometimes leaves annoying lumps, especially when you're aiming for a smooth, consistent batter.
Agitate: Who wants tired arms and unevenly mixed ingredients? Lumps can lead to inconsistent texture in your final bread, which is a real bummer when you're expecting a perfectly moist slice.
Solution: Grab a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a trusty handheld electric mixer. These gadgets make quick work of combining your wet and dry ingredients, ensuring a silky-smooth batter every time without breaking a sweat!

Time-Saving Tools & Ingredients

Problem: Prepping fresh tropical fruits like pineapple can be a bit of a chore, adding extra time and mess to your cooking process.
Agitate: While fresh fruit is fantastic, peeling, coring, and dicing a whole pineapple isn't exactly "quick and easy." If you're short on time, this step can feel like a big hurdle.
Solution: Opt for canned crushed pineapple, thoroughly drained. It's already prepped and ready to go, saving you valuable minutes. Just make sure to press out as much liquid as possible to keep your bread from getting soggy!

Time-Saving Tools & Ingredients

Problem: Getting precise measurements for dry ingredients like cornmeal and flour can be surprisingly difficult with just measuring cups, leading to inconsistent results.
Agitate: Too much flour can make your bread dense and dry, while too little can make it crumbly and fall apart. Eyeballing it often leads to baking disasters rather than delights!
Solution: Invest in a digital kitchen scale. It provides super accurate measurements by weight, which is far more reliable than volume. This ensures your Bermuda Johnny Bread turns out with the perfect texture and consistency every single time.
