1 t salt
2/3 c honey
1 3/4 c water

in a large bowl or mixer bowl & mix in a mixer or with a spatula.

Preheat oven at 350º

To keep the bread from sticking, oil sides & bottom of a 9x13 glass pan with:
1/2 t virgin coconut or olive oil


Sprinkle:
1/3 unsweetened shredded coconut or flakes

in the bottom of the pan.

Spoon the mixture into the pan.

Press mixture with a spatula or back of a large spoon making it thicker around the edges & thinner in the middle.

Top with:
1/4 - 1/2 c unsweetened shredded
coconut or flakes

& press into the mixture.
Bake at 350º for 25 min.

After baking the 25 min, make 3 - 5 slits in the bread, to keep it flat.
Then continue baking 15 min. more.

Loosen the bread from the pan by going around the pan with a sharp knife between the pan & the bread.

Cut into rectangles.

Serve
or cool down & refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days
