• 6 combine cream of coconut and 2 tablespoons juice concentrate in bowl; stir well. pour 3 tablespoons juice mixture over dough; set remaining juice mixture aside. cover dough, and let rise 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
• 7 preheat oven to 350°.
• 8 uncover dough, and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. cool in pan for 20 minutes. remove from pan; place on a wire rack. stir powdered sugar into remaining juice mixture. drizzle powdered sugar mixture over top of warm bread.
