  1. I can't wait to make your recipe for hard dough bread I have tried other recipes before and it just wasn't what I know hard dough bread to be. Could I by any chance use bread flour instead of ap flour

  2. I think the only thing I got correct on my final result was hard.
    It was definitely a HARD Dough…. And so heavy… it never rise at all…. If there was a prize for hard, heavy dough – I think I would have won! And I don’t even know what I did wrong 😅…1st time making it – don’t know if I will again

  3. I love your channel, my wife and I subscribed and have been binging your videos. We love the history and knowledge you teach as well as the clear instructions you provide. We tried the harddough bread recipe and unfortunately it didn't rise. Do you think it was my yeast? We followed everything to the tee.

  4. The best Hard Dough bread I ever had was from Caribbean Sunshine Bakery from Gun Hill Road in the Bronx. That bread was heavenly and perfectly dense, noticably sweet; the top was smooth, the smell sublime.
    The loaf was easily a foot long and heavy,

  5. Maaan… yuh don't know what yuh did when yuh tear di bread. 🤤
    Childhood memories, stopping at Purity bakery on a fr-day evening, and buying warm, fresh bread for the 2-hour traffic to Spanish Town. Dat ting didn't last the drive home; Mom had to buy two in order for di res of di weeken' to si any. ☺

  6. Thank you for the detailed recipe! My German grandmother used to make the same type of bread (except that more butter, and cream instead of milk, were used as fat sources instead of shortening). She called it ‚Gestreifter‘ which translates to ‚the striped one‘ due to stripes of dough forming when torn slowly. It was eaten on Sunday (with strawberry jam) during the summer months, probably as a way to preserve excess dairy since milk cows are more productive during the summer (- instead of preserving the bread from Caribbean humidity).

  7. Gm, from Barbados(I am J'can) my first attempted of baking bread was this exact recipe……I failed miserably. I still kept on practicing(flour cheap) I recently came across cold fermenting using this exact recipe I cold ferment for 48hrs it was crazy good, texture and taste was on a different level. It taste like Mcpherson bread from the 70's😅

  8. I went to Jamaica on vacation and fell in love with hard dough bread so just had to make it. I chose this recipe and instructions because everything was clear and precise. My bread turned out amazing will be making it again. Thank you

  9. I usually do not post comments, but felt compelled to do so after completing your recipe. The changes I made were: 1) using water to replace the milk, 2) the first proof was 1 hour, and the second proof was 45 minutes. I am very impressed and happy with the end results. Excellent recipe.

  10. The only problem I have with this video is that over two hours ago I jumped onto youtube to search for a good roast beef recipe but instead I watched almost all your videos from green seasoning and now I'm on to bread 😕. I'll finally get off YouTube after this video just so I can jump on Amazon to search for a good kitchen scale 😑.
