Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon into a small bowl. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, oil and sugar and mix with dry ingredients until well blended. Fold in mango, raisins, nuts and coconut. Pour into loaf pans and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes, unmold and let completely cool on baking racks.

Herb Rolls
Hopefully I haven't posted these already, but last night we had to suffer because I couldn't find the recipe. Oh well, Jesse made his famous cheese scones and life was good. Did I say we suffered? I guess I was wrong.

 2 Tablespoons yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
 1/3 cup buttermilk
1 Tablespoon sugar
 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted butter
 3 cups flour
 1 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons basil leaves
 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
 1/4 teaspoon hing (whatever that is)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin pans.
In a large bowl add yeast to water and let sit for 30 seconds.
 Add melted butter, spices, buttermilk, salt and sugar.
Gradually stir in flour and knead for 8 minutes.
 If too wet add a little more flour.
 Grease large bowl with a little butter and add dough. Cover and let rise in warm kitchen area until double in size ( about an hour).
Fold dough over , punch down and knead.
Make 36 small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
 Fill greased muffin tins with 3 balls each. Cover and let rise for one hour.
 Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
 Serve hot. Makes 12 rolls.
