FAQ
Hard dough bread, also called hardo bread, is a Caribbean cuisine bread similar to the Pullman loaf or pain de mie, although hard dough bread tends to be sweeter. The dough consists of flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar. Additional ingredients such as treacle, molasses, and vegetable shortening can be used.
The richness of the bread may be because of the use of shortening or lard, instead of butter, and the stretching of the dough with excessive kneading.
It is, after all, just a bread made from flour, yeast, and coconut milk, its namesake ingredient. The inclusion of coconut milk gives this bread a uniquely Caribbean sensibility. Although the bread is beloved throughout much of the English-speaking Caribbean, Jamaica is the birthplace of coco bread.
What Is Coco Bread? Jamaican coco bread is a buttery, subtly sweet folded bread. It gets part of its name from the coconut milk used to impart tropical flavor. Without coconut milk, the ingredients for coco bread are surprisingly similar to fluffy American dinner rolls.
