Description

Description: Make Guyanese Plait Bread as a lightly sweet and fluffy bread perfect for the dinner table.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tablespoon Active, Dry Yeast
  • 1 1/3 Cups Warm Water
  • 1 Tablespoon White Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Salted Butter, melted or Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 3 1/2 Cups Bread Flour

Instructions

 
  1. In a large bowl, combine the white sugar, yeast, and warm water. Let sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Add 1 Cup of bread flour to the yeast mixture and mix well.
  3. Add the melted butter/olive oil, salt, and brown sugar. Stir until combined.
  4. Add the remaining bread flour and mix, with a dough hook attachment or a wooden spoon, until the dough begins to form.
  5. Turn out to a floured board and knead until an elastic and smooth ball of dough is formed.
  6. Grease a bowl and put the dough ball inside, turning to coat.
  7. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Alternatively, grease a cookie sheet.
  9. Punch down the dough and turn out to a floured surface. Knead slightly.
  10. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
  11. With the palms of your hands, roll each portion into equal logs approximately 16 inches long.
  12. Braid the three strands. Tuck the ends together tightly.
  13. Place the dough braid on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  14. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  15. Bake the risen bread in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. The bread will be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped with a knuckle.
  16. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Yeast Activation: Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast. Hot water can kill the yeast, preventing the bread from rising.
  • Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider refrigerating or freezing.
