Jamaican Coco Bread



Now with the Jamaican patties this bread is usually wrapped around it and gives it a nice flavor & crunch. Now mine didn't come out right the first time and I tried 2 times before it came out really yummy. So see what you can do with it. I wish you luck.

What you need:
2 packets yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup warm water
1 medium egg
1 cup warm milk
1 tsp salt
3.5 cups white flour
1/2 cup melted butter

What to do:
Mix the yeast, sugar and water together.
Beat the egg and stir in to the mixture.
Stir in the milk and salt.
Stir in 2 cups of the flour.
Slowly add more flour, stop when the mixture becomes stiff.
Knead the dough until it is smooth - this should take about 10 minutes
Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and some of the melted butter.
Roll the dough around the bowl until it is entirely coated in butter.
Cover with a damp towel for 1 hour (this will allow the mixture to rise).
Divide the dough in to 10 pieces and roll each piece in to a circle, about 1/2 cm thick.
Brush the dough with melted butter then fold in half.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Place folded pieces on a well greased sheet and place on the bottom rack of the oven.
Bake until golden brown (this should take around 15 minutes).

Enjoy (hopefully yours comes out the first time)
