If you want bread synonymous with Jamaica, you definitely need a slice of this Jamaican hard dough bread. A dense, but the slightly sweet loaf is just what you need to make the perfect sandwich.
Making a good sandwich really requires you to have the perfect bread. A nice dense one, that is still tender on the inside that can hold all the yumminess we are going to put in there.
With a slightly sweeter hint than other bread, it's perfect for sandwiches that require a firm base. It's a little firm on the outside, and the inside is a nice soft, tender dough.

It's also great to use to sap up the gravy from stew chicken, or with some fried sausages. Or even just to eat with your jerk chicken. It's also great on its own.
Every week I go to the grocery I grab a loaf of hard dough bread and a loaf of potato bread. Before I could turn around, for sure the hard dough was done.
Since it's perfect for making grilled cheese sandwiches, which my toddler loves, we usually go through it quickly. Also, it's the main one we use to make those nice turkey sandwiches, with cheese and lettuce and tomato. Yum!!

In a medium bowl (or in your mixing bowl) mix your dry ingredients. Combine your sugar, yeast, cups of flour, and salt.

Then add your room temperature water to the batter, gradually, then knead your dough till it's elastic, about 10 minutes. I use my dough hook. I would get tired of kneading.
Using your rolling pin, try your best to roll the dough out in a rectangular shape. I do not get this perfectly, so don't worry about that. We really just need two long sides and two shorter sides.
We now want to tightly roll the dough up. Flour your fingers a little, then grab one long side and roll to the other side as best as you can.

Then place it into your greased bread pan. If the roll seems to be longer than your pan, just push the ends in for it to fit.
Just before we put it in to bake in the preheated oven, we will brush the loaf with the beaten egg white to help it get a nice golden color while baking.
You can also have it with some of your regular food, and use the bread to sap up the sauce from your jerk chicken or steamed fish.

Once baked, store the loaf in a bag for up to 5 days outside on the counter, but should be transferred to the fridge after to extend use.
You can also freeze it. You have two options to freeze. You can freeze the dough mixture not baked or freeze it after baking.
If you are freezing just the mixed dough: After mixing, I double wrap it in plastic wrap then place it in a Ziploc bag and freeze.
How To Make Homemade Jamaican Coco Bread
When I am ready to use it, I take it out and get the dough to room temperature making sure all ice is gone.
If you are freezing after baking: Get the loaf to cool. Then slice it a little thicker than you would normally do. Add to a loaf bag or Ziploc bag and put the freeze.
This option works great if you are a single or small family. You can then take out either one slice or a few. Get it to room temperature and it's ready to use.Coco Bread – a popular staple bread in Jamaica and other parts of the Caribbean made primarily with flour and coconut milk, then slightly sweetened just to tickle your tastebuds.

Sweet Bread: 'tis The Season For A Taste Of The Caribbean
Whoever invented these Jamaican Coco Bread must have been a serious sandwich lover! It’s firm enough to hold any filling you could possibly think of while still giving you that notable softness on the inside that we all love in a bread. And did I mention that it is shaped to form like a folded bread so you can easily fill it?
If the Americans have these Easy Dinner Rolls, well the Jamaicans have their Coco Bread. Although it’s not pointed out straight on why it was named as such, it could probably because it’s primarily made with flour and coconut milk just like this popular Samoan Coconut Bread Rolls a.k.a Pani Popo. Perhaps we all could agree on how coconut milk makes an incredible basketful of buns and rolls.
Think of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, but a little bit denser. Coco bread is buttery and slightly sweetened with a note of coconut milk. But if you’re on the sweeter side of the spectrum, feel free to adjust the sugar.

Absolutely! In fact, I have some already frozen in my freezer. I’m just going to reheat a few of them on Saturday morning and BAM, hearty Jamaican breakfast on my table!
What I do to make it ahead, is to bake them as directed below. Then leave them to cool down completely and line in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan and flash freeze for an hour or until hard enough to touch. When already frozen, transfer them in a freezer-safe container bag, label and freeze for up to 2 months.

When ready to serve again, reheat your frozen coco bread by placing them snuggly in a baking dish or in a baking sheet pan, brush with melted butter and bake until warm enough for about 7-10 minutes in a 350°F oven.

Jamaican Festival Bread Recipe (caribbean Dumpling)
Stir in flour to form a soft dough, err on the side of less flour. Soft dough results in tender coco bread. Turn dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the dough. Cover loosely with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled.
Punch the dough down. Transfer dough to a lightly floured board or surface. Cut the dough into about 10 equal pieces and roll each dough into a ball.
Roll each piece with a rolling pin to about 6-7 inch diameter and about ⅛-¼ inch thick. Brush the surface of the dough with melted butter, then fold the dough in half and brush again. Place onto dough on prepared pan and repeat with remaining pieces, until done. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
