I found this recipe on another site but its so good i have to share.
I'm from Guyana and this bread tastes exactly like our "guyana bread" and i've been looking for a recipe to make this bread for over a year now and i'm just so excited to find something that tastes so much like "our" bread. Actually my mom says it tastes better.
I've made this bread 2 times in the last week and i cant keep myself away from it , its sooo good and so simple.
Here's the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2/3 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups bread flour
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast.
Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
Mix salt and oil into the yeast.
Mix in flour one cup at a time.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn dough to coat.
Cover with a damp cloth.
Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down.
Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half.
Shape into loaves, and place into two well oiled 9x5 inch loaf pans.
Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
I didnt take a pic of the breads i made, if i tried now all you will see are 2 end pieces that are left. lol.
my only notes: I made this bread in the pan and out and the difference is the bread in the pan stays moist longer, the one out of the pan dries out a bit after a few days. Also the bread is slightly sweet & heavenly with just butter.
Next time i make it i'll be sure to take a pic.
Enjoy.
