Dinner Rolls (SOFT & FLUFFY) | Dad's TRINI Hops Bread Recipe

Learn how to make Dad's SOFT & FLUFFY Dinner Rolls or Trini Hops Bread. Traditional hops bread were leavened with the extract of male hop flowers instead of yeast. The bread was more crusty than the hops bread sold nowadays in bakeries around Trinidad and Tobago.
You can find hops bread being sold with curried channa, chow mein, black pudding, fried chicken, geera & roasted pork, geera chicken & gizzards and many others. It's quickly becoming a popular, convenient & cheap breakfast street-food. Freshly baked hops always calls for a nice thick spread of butter or some cheese and pepper sauce, and some Trini chocolate tea on the side (it must be in an enamel cup 😃). How do you like yours?
My recipe is slightly different than daddy's, but if you'd like a quicker proofing method, check it out here:
• SOFT Dinner Rolls | Tr...
Ingredients:
4 cups of all purpose flour
2 teaspoons of salt (Daddy only added a pinch to his bread)
3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of instant yeast
4 teaspoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
2 tablespoons of lard
1 3/4 - 2 cups of warm water (110 F-115F)
Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
Notes:
1) Daddy actually kneads the dough for 20-30 minutes.
2) For a more golden color, bake for 10-15 minutes more.
3) You can mix different types of flour (eg. 1/2 all purpose, 1/2 whole wheat OR oats, buckwheat etc.)

I've watched this video multiple times since its been posted. In the past I've been fixated on the anger towards my father that I never stopped and appreciated the little things he was able to do for me. Like when I was learning to bake, my cookies were hard as rocks. While no one ate them, my dad would take the plate of cookies along with a glass of milk and enjoy them with pride. Each time gave me encouragement and each time I became better and better. Today, this video brought me to tears as he is no longer with us. It's been a year now since he's passed away, and sadly, it took his passing to understand life from another perspective. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe

[@yvonneblache1515]

Happy belated Fathers Day to your most inspiring Dad, He did exceptionally well.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@priscillajoseph765]

You're right, you can never have too much bread freshly baked at home. 💖 to your daddy. 🏆

[@TasteofTrini]

Truth! Thank you for watching!

[@JL-uz9ky]

I just cried at the end!, that was so moving! My Daddy is from Northern Ireland, as am I. He's my HERO now at 79 years of age and always has been since I can remember!!!!! Thank you for sharing this and so many other beautiful family recipes.

[@joannekangalee3281]

Thanks to ur dad for this best father's day gift recipe. I wish my dad were alive so I cook make it for him he would have done the same thing your dad does. 😢they are always proud of their girls. I also love long time penny loaves especially toasted on tawa with golden ray and crusty would love to know how that was made.thanks so much and Happy father's day everyday to your Dad❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rls2229]

I'm so excited to make these once the weather is cooler and the nights are darker, though I'm sure they'd be great at a summer picnic

[@stacyc6968]

So many memories of when I was a kid! I can’t wait to try this during this Xmas season for my family. Thank you you and your dad! 🙏

[@elizabethroblyn1392]

Your dad is the absolute best. 🤗 I hope he enjoyed his father's day to the fullest. I love your family Reshmi. I can feel the love among you all. My dad bakes bread and sweet bread.

[@TasteofTrini]

He really is. Thank you for being here and appreciating my family ❤ Sounds like your dad is quite a baker and has a rel sweet han'🙂

[@sabira2517]

Hi. I just wanna say that I tried this yesterday and it was absolutely the best.. of all the trini bread recipes I've tried this one came out better than store bought.. also your doubles recipe was the best and since then I've only been using your recipes and methods.. ❤

[@stephaniegreene539]

wow,your dad's bread looks amazing, great job dad. 🤗🇬🇾👏

[@choomunpersand1353]

Nice video . Best hops bread . A big thanks to your dad . Excellent recipe . Admirable demonstration !

[@fearyfore]

My son, who's 8 and I watched this video and he said the bread is so fluffy, you have to make it. Big thanks to your daddy Reshmi for this beautiful hops bread recipe. My dad was the family roti cooker, whenever there was prayers or wedding he would cook all the roti, he doesn't do it anymore though. P.S. My son really wanted to see what you looked like so I showed him your Homemade Popeye's fried chicken recipe and now I have to make that as well.

[@vivacious1222]

Awesome recipe. Like father, like daughter. Good culinary skills run in your family!!!! Lovely family pics too.

[@sandy4real81]

Thank you to your awesome dad.

[@jennyjoel4109]

Looks so good. I love how ur dad bread looks as well

[@LazyCookPete]

Your dad makes the best hops bread. Interestingly, we used to call these 'penny buns' in the UK, and the porcini mushroom (boletus edulus) is still called a 'penny bun' for its resemblance to these delicious bread buns. Very interesting etymology of the name 'hops bread'. Much love to you and your family!

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey uncle! Well the guy who actually invented these is English 😁 His name is John Rapsey (not Ramsey as I wrongfully said in the video).

[@sparlings9388]

loved this! My Papa makes these...was so nice to watch the video close to my heart and brought me back to childhood

[@TasteofTrini]

Aww that's nice! Glad to bring back childhood memories 🙂

[@deborahmohammed8184]

I grow up with my mom baking a lot of bread, hers use to be really rich soft and nice, so I will normally make mines the same, but I was always looking for a recipe like this one, a bit more firm and also soft, it looks delicious and definitely a try, great job once again

[@carolking8835]

TOT I have not had bread and channa since I was in primary school and boy did I love it. Your dad is your national treasure and it is good that you salute him everyday. That is love!! My dad used to bake sweet bread for his Annie (his name for me) and I loved it. He is no longer with me but every time I look in the mirror, I see my Dee Dee (I could not say daddy so Dee Dee stuck with all of us kids) and would go down memory lane. Enjoy those delicious hops and your great dad.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you for always watching aunty! Hope all is well in NYC. Awww that's such a lovely memory of your dad. I will definitely cherish my dad forever 🙂

[@Krysthalenz]

I actually learnt how to make bread from my father as well. The way he knead the dough was amazing to me. Were done by hands.

[@katiebooth2222]

Looks really really yummy!

[@valeriechristian9668]

I had been searching for a soft dinner roll… thank your daddy for me❤️

[@Krysthalenz]

Got have that hops. By the way I will be baking that today. My dad is no longer alive, 23 yrs now. Happy father's day to all Dads.

[@BillyDEly]

I love this recipe! I plan to try it this week. I love your videos because I miss trini so much. ❤️

[@BillyDEly]

When I was in trini we had garlic cheese spread on our fresh bread. I have been trying to recreate it ever since.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you so much for watching! Hope you get to visit again sometime. Was it at a restaurant in Chaguaramas? I think I know what you're talking about.

[@BillyDEly]

Taste of Trini no it was home made I was helping at a church in Diego Martin.

[@virtuouswoman3862]

Your house probably smelling so good 🤗 Awesome recipe. Cant wait to give it a try.

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes, it smelled amazing! The neighbors were probably drooling. It smelled like when you passing by Kiss Baking Company on the highway😁😁

[@saritaali1435]

Yum Yums..Happy Father's Day to your dad! My dad never cooked or baked but made some good punches. I distinctly remember the carnation, malta and red soft drink lol and there was one where he used fruit cocktail.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you for watching! Sounds great. Those drinks sounding rel good. I love fruit cocktail! Would love to hear about that drink🙂

[@shoshanalove]

I NEVER knew that they used hops male flowers extract ... and baked on banana leaves wow! The history of it is so cool. I’m sure baking it on banana leaves will still be a great idea. I’ll try it 😊

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes they did 🙂 My mom still bakes like that. She bakes chicken, fish, bread and almost everything on banana leaves. Thanks for watching!

[@TheDilovely]

Some men just have that skill to bake and make some really good bread. My husband makes some really soft bread. Thanks for sharing to you and your daddy, this video is gonna turn me into a break maker. lol

[@TasteofTrini]

That's so true! My dad is an awesome baker. Lucky wife 😉 Lol happy baking!!

[@rosseasonaldecor9702]

Hi Reshmi! These look so good! I can never have too much bread, will definitely try this soon. Thank you for sharing!

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you! I agree. Since the pandemic, we've been baking so much and eating lots of carbs lol Thanks for watching!

[@Hawkmaniac09]

Great recipe. Turned out just as it is described. I cooked them in the oven for 25 minutes, buttered them then but them under a low broiler to brown them.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you! Glad it was a success! Enjoy!

[@SweetieVash]

Beautiful 😍😍😍

[@lcharles0]

[@TasteofTrini]

[@babygirldass3621]

[@27thAve]

I read about your dad via your sister's instagram and I found and instant respect for him. So I salute him and also thank him for sharing this recipe for all of us. Last Sunday on Father's Day I was still in the hospital, and as a nod to my father, I played nothing but Reggae in my room all day because that is his favorite kind of music. It sure made all the West Indian Nurses, Assistant's and other hospital staff happy, haha. Thanks for me making me drool with hunger again Reshmi! Haha

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey! Yeah my dad went through a lot in life. He definitely is an inspiration my siblings and I. Sorry to hear you were in the hospital. Please keep me updated! Hope you are doing better now🙏🏽

Omg so I made this bread 🥖 was delicious soft and moist, a bit salty for me but other than that 100 💯 perfect... great job Dad!!

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey! Glad to hear! My dad only adds a pinch of salt to his. I think I just eat way too much salt lol

[@deborahmohammed8184]

Taste of Trini Hi next time I would do that, but my son say he didn’t taste the salt and he’s not a salt eater so I guess it’s the spread I put in it to taste the bread 🍞!!

[@terrancecoard388]

That got me craving for some Fernleaf butter and cheese. I will try your this recipe. We got ours from Haracksing's (SP?) bakery in Chaguanas way back in the day. Thanks for sharing your father's recipe.

[@TasteofTrini]

Yummm @fernleaf butter! Nice, my parents might know about that bakery. Thank you for watching!

[@deboraalexis4016]

Thank you Reshmi Daddy for this top of the line Hops Bread recipe.. Finally ..... Thanks Reshmi.. for another great video... Keep Safe

Hi I made this bread once it came out awesome, I want to make it again but can I do it as loaves?

[@deborahbunch2047]

Thank you for sharing. You’re very lucky to have your dad. Happy belated Father’s Day to him. I lost my dad when I was 13 but I remember that he would tell my mom he could make better paratha Roti than she did. I lost my mom this April to Covid-19. I enjoyed your video and will try your dad’s recipe thank you again ❤️

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey Deborah! Sorry to hear 😭 I can't imagine what you're going through right now. Stay strong ❤🙏🏽Sending love and positivity to you! Keep well and don't hesitate to reach out if you need a listening ear.

[@deborahbunch2047]

[@nicoledass9382]

Thanks for posting it Resh! Looks so pillowy soft. I know your dad prefers fermipan but its unavailable on Amazon. Which brand do you use?

[@Krysthalenz]

Fermipan instant yeast is my choice and the best I used when baking bread.

[@sweettrinilife2095]

Sadly my dad passed away when I was 12 years . Nice video.

[@pamelaayres6725]

Blessed evening top chef do u hv a coconut hops bread recipe I need one

[@Ab_Wolf]

Good Job Uncle! do you have a keto version of this?

[@Wclifford7]

Love your videos. How do you make this hops bread but with a crusty exterior but soft interior?

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you!! 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes and don't brush butter when it comes out

[@ashleyhussain394]

I love my daddy broff or soup an dumpling wit stew beef

[@shivannaseunarine5393]

When you doing the onion chow recipe

[@diad80]

Wonderful video! Do you suggest a specific brand of white flour for hops bread and roti? Im goin shoppin today and I would love to know thank you 🙏🏽 ☺️

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi! I use Pillsbury All Purpose Flour for everything. For bread, use any high gluten flour.

[@KenUbeleveit1]

What kind of flour did you use in the beginning?

[@fairycakesandcookies]

Awesome!!! Great job. These look like soft fluffy clouds. What can my dad make 🤔. Does boiling water count? Lol

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you! 🤣🤣 that's funny!

[@saritasweetness7804]

[@priscillapetersen978]

Good day where do I find the recipe for your lovely hops buns

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey! The ingredient list is in the description box. Click the down arrow under the video 🙂

[@geetabachan3886]

I like your bread

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you!

[@aionaseeraj8281]

How much bread did you get with this recipe.

[@joannekangalee3281]

Hi I know mastering the art of bread making is priceless. I made this today and it came out fairly well.it was not as light and airy as hops .please tell me how to get it like that

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey! You have to knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. There could also be an issue with your yeast. If you let it proof for too long, that can also cause the hops to be more on the dense side.

[@joannekangalee3281]

@@TasteofTrini thanks for replying but the yeast was fresh fermipan and I followed all your steps there was no proofing of yeast involved the yeast was added to the flour I don't know why maybe much salt🤔

[@TasteofTrini]

Salt in a high quantity can retard the yeast, but not the amount we used. It could be how you kneaded it or how long you left it to rise.

[@junesammy-robidoux2305]

Happy Father's Day Daddy! Definitely trying his recipe. My Dad passed seven years now but he was a great Daddy. He was a taxi driver, he worked very hard to give us a good life. He thought us to work hard and to be generous. Daddy had the best laugh and use to make the best parasad. I miss him everyday and I wish he could have seen his grandson but I know he is looking down on us. To all those reading this treasure your Dads they may not be perfect, mine was not, but he loved us and would move heaven and Earth to make us happy.

[@TasteofTrini]

Awww sorry to hear that. Sounds like he was an awesome Daddy. You have such great memories to keep close. Thanks for the advice ❤

[@priscillajoseph765]

Can the dough be baked as a loaf or it's much nicer as separate balls,easier for sharing? Need patience to make. But it's worth it, love it. 👌👌 Reminds me of my mum's rolls, it made the house smell heavenly! As soon as it was cooled they disappeared. 😃😃😃 Thank you Reshmi daddy. My late dad didn't bake but he could cook brilliantly.

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes it van definitely be baked as a loaf. Yes, you definitely need patience and time with this 🙂 Glad to bring back memories for you. Aww that's nice ❤

[@nadinedwarka3192]

This is amazing..BTW, is Daddy left handed too? 👍

[@TasteofTrini]

Thanks! He is 🙂

How much hops bread would you get with this recipe?

1 dozen, or 8 bigger hops

[@GG-de7si]

Why is the one you made not as soft or fluffy as dad’s?

[@TasteofTrini]

They are.

[@weizterkitchens]

You need to list the recipe ingredients and quantities within the video itself. Some of us download the KZbin video to our hard drives - but when we watch it later, we find that the ingredients and quantities are unknown. We travel on a yacht and most of the time, we do not have internet access.

[@TasteofTrini]

Will do! Thanks for letting me know Sorry for that.

[@alisakandhai2494]

I tried your recipe and it came out well just a bit too solid

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey, did you knead the dough until it was elastic? If you don't knead it enough, it turns out hard. Also, there could be an issue with the yeast.

[@alisakandhai2494]

Taste of Trini I think it’s the kneading of the dough I’ll try it back another day 🙂 looking forward to more of your cooking vlogs

[@shivannaseunarine5393]
