Pineapple Bread [0000794]

Ingredients:

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple until it's evenly distributed throughout the dough. If you're using shredded coconut, fold it into the dough as well.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into small rounds or oval shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

If desired, sprinkle a little shredded coconut on top of each pineapple bread for added texture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pineapple bread turns golden brown.

Allow the gluten-free Chinese Pineapple Bread to cool on a wire rack before serving.
