Guyanese Plait Bread

[@Westindiangyal1111]

Bless your beautiful guyanese grandma. She passed her amazing talent for cooking and baking on to you❤️

[@QueenObio]

Oh em Gee!! This is the best bread ever!! Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe!!❤❤❤❤

[@gai33]

Thank you Ms Althea, I have tried this recipe and my bread came out absolutely perfect. ❤❤❤❤Happy holidays!

[@shaundellbranch2046]

I tried your recipe today and my bread came out perfect. Plus this is my first time baking bread. Thank you for this recipe!

[@glynisgibson4933]

I appreciate this recipe. The reason why it has no milk or egg included. Real traditional Guyanese bread preparation.❤thx

[@umamoteelall958]

So I did try making this bread but I didn’t do a good job making the braid, but the bread came out perfectly. Smells so good in my kitchen! Nothing so good like fresh bread 😋 Thank you for this recipe ma’am. I will keep this always. Stay bless and do what you do❤️🙏🏼

[@Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect]

I made one tweak by adding 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup cold Crisco, but this was great! My family LOVED it. Bread was gone by the afternoon. Thank so much and enjoy your Christmas ❤🎄😊.

[@MP-ne6ji]

You really dont need the crisco. The butter makes it nice and soft. Better to invest a higher quality butter.

[@themyeshamarie]

I just made bread for the first time recently. My husband is Guyanese and our elder told me I should learn to plait. So, thank you for this recipe!

[@tressanallenmartin9336]

I made this last night ... OMG!! It was so good... I shared it with my neighbor and she loved it... this is now my go to

[@Metemgee]

Thank you so much

[@annsundar9677]

Third year using your recipe and it never disappoints! I put my own twist and it's so delicious. Thank you! Happy holidays to you and yours!

[@danhaniff1157]

Omg I can't believe I did this. After you sliced the bread you brought it closer to the camera for us to get a look. Do you know I leaned my head towards my computer to smell your bread...lol. I like how your dough came out. I don't recall the time I baked bread because I'm only making tennis rolls. I'll try you recipe.

[@Metemgee]

Hahaha. It was smelling like heaven!

[@simonesanichar5984]

I just made 2 loaves by doubling your recipe. My goodness it’s amazing. The aroma, the texture, the taste, absolutely amazing. Best of all it was such a simple technique with minimal ingredients. I love it. Thank you so much. ❤

[@boeddhasfood]

Thanks for this video, for me this is the best making bread video ia see, and I love how you speak about your grandmother.

[@Metemgee]

Yes. Nothing better than fresh baked bread and Pepperpot on Christmas morning!

[@larroreggaehits1178]

Seems like that recipe is a regional thing for I am from across the east/west bridge, your grandmother and my mom would make bread the same way. I grew up in east ruimveldt, and went to primary school in west ruimveldt.

[@rozannespringer1617]

I tried this recipe today! The bread was delish! Soft and moist. I will definitely be trying this again!

[@Dalm8ion]

Thank you so much for the easiest recipe ever! I'm one of those people who was always discouraged from baking bread because kneading is so intimidating to me, and also seems like so much work. I tried this three times so far and it was perfect each time.

[@Metemgee]

Marica Gordon thank so much for sharing. Kneading has its place just not with this recipe 😂😂

[@nyranasgarally6153]

Thanks for sharing your grandma recipe your bread looks so good I love fresh baked bread👍💕🇬🇾🇨🇦

[@Metemgee]

You are most welcome

[@krishnaraghubeer6749]

Made this bread three times (with the double butter) and it came out amazing every time!

[@ReineNubia]

Metemgee, thanks so much for sharing this family recipe. I have made several Guyanese plait breads, and this recipe is the best one I have tried. It was soft, fluffy, buttery deliciousness. It didn't even get to cool. It was gone in 15 minutes. I made the dough in my Zo. It doubled in size w/i 45 minutes. The 2nd rise took even less time. This is definitely a keeper.

[@maliyahm4605]

just made this today and let me say... this recipe is bomb! I ate 3 pieces of bread dry 😭 I couldn't stop. Thank you!

[@Metemgee]

You’re welcome and thank you

[@charmainef6694]

Your recipe was very easy to follow. I made it, it turned out great and it was delicious. Couldn’t stop eating it.

[@Metemgee]

Isn’t it so good. Better make two loaves next time 😩😆

[@charmainef6694]

I think I will do that.

[@glynisgibson3986]

I am a guyanese and that is exactly how I learned to make bread.

[@mellymel8924]

Thank you soooooo much👏 for this amazing recipe....this is the first time ive ever baked bread and my husband loved it...i greatly appreciated this...

[@Metemgee]

Awww you're welcome. Happy to pass this tradition on to you and your family.

[@dollypersaud8720]

I have fail so many times at making 🍞 After watching your video I had to give it a try again. It came out perfect and taste amazing. Thanks for your recipe. Was unable to upload a photo ☹️

[@karenoxley6201]

Hello. I've tried ur recipe. It was so easy and simple to make.. thank you. It came out great and delicious 😋

[@reshmadixon8756]

Making this bread right now...I made pepperpot and I decided to make your homemade bread recipe....wow so tasty and soft..love it .. thanks 😊

[@keesharalph6597]

This recipe was soooo easy. I never thought I could make bread!! It came out so soft and delicious. I’m gonna make the bread this year for Pepper Pot! THANK YOU!

[@Metemgee]

Yes!!! You’re welcome.

[@shellynorton2178]

I am so proud of myself, thank you for this simple and easy to do recipe🙏🏽. I was in your kitchen and you were in mine. In fact, you have been in mine for the last week and a half, your black cake recipe came out incredible as well.

[@normakhan6335]

Love Love your recipes awesome job you take back home to Guyana

[@nathanielswan909]

Thanks for sharing. I can't eat bread as well (diabetes) but it looks like a wonderful gift to share. A few questions: I really didn't see a lot of bubbles when you proofed the yeast. I would have thrown it out and started again. You also said to proof the yeast in a cool place....I would have chosen a warm environment. Also after the dough was made you again mentioned setting it aside in a cool place as an alternative to the oven. Didn't quite understand this either..or suggestion.

[@Adot2x180]

I was made this recipe and every time I comes out better and better

[@latchminnarain177]

I will try your recipe soon. You’re gem of a chef. Thank you very much sis❤️

[@mahfuzahgajraj3329]

Your recipe is great my mom makes her bread the same way.she never use a recipe soft and delicious (she passed away)we r from East Ruimveldt. . God Bless u.stay safe.

[@renwattiegoobardhan4284]

Thanks for you sharing. I made bread for the pepper pot and it turned out great and delicious. Happy holidays and season greeting to you and your family. 💕🇨🇦🇬🇾

[@rickusom1]

Awesome recipe. It tasted great. I would like to doubles the batch. Can I double the yeast?

[@Metemgee]

Don’t double the yeast. Double everything else.

[@rogerm612]

Hello, great video and you instructions are absolutely awesome. You gave your measurements in cups, for this bread recipe, can you please say in pounds how much flour was used. I don't know how much is a cup in imperial measurements. Thanks, will be watching all your other amazing videos.

[@karissarampersad8135]

Pull and push and using your knuckles is the natural way of kneading dough. That's great

[@litamackhrandilal6889]

Metemgee, thanks for your tip on adding a little bit of flour to the cheese paste for the cheese roll. It works

[@shyammohabir8283]

OMG .. Now you stole my heart.. Tell Andrew (I guess the hubby?).. goodbye!!! - Seriously - This was amazing .. I just tried it .. and it was a HIT!! (Kid form GT)

[@ladiesaa2442]

Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, mine jus came out of the oven and it was perfect 😊 and the right texture, soft. Can't believe I made that, it's amazing just the way I prefer bread. thanks again.

[@samantharam4610]

First timer !!! You were amazing, bread looks very well done ....thankz for the tip,will definitely try this🤗

[@Metemgee]

Welcome. Hope you try it.

[@nydietguy1153]

1/4 cup of butter is one stick, 1/2 cup of butter is two sticks. The amount of butter used was correct. By the way, there is no need to cut the butter into the flour, since you are not making biscuits. For bread, melted butter is fine. The butter is going to melt anyway as you knead the dough. Thanks for the video.

[@Metemgee]

The butter I bought comes in 1/2 cup sticks. That is why I said it was a happy accident. I meant to use a 1/4 cup stick but used a 1/2 cup stick instead. This is how my grand mother taught me bread and how I’ll continue to do it to honor her memory. Thank you for your comment.

[@bebealrasheid5081]

Thank you for your tips! I especially loved using the spatula to bring the dough together. I will be using this technique for roti too 😄.

[@Metemgee]

Did you see my roti recipe where I used the spatula. It’s genius.

Hiya, thanks so much for such a clear video and amazing recipe, I just tried it and it came out delicious!!

[@indrajasodrabhadaiaziz1248]

Hi, just tried your bread recipe, YumEE 😋 but, I have an electric oven and the bottom got too brown but, not burnt, just crunchy and I love the crunch. I have a delish recipe as well but, yours has less ingredients and it tastes just as YumEE 😋 I also use Vegan butter! Sincere thanks for your simple yummy 😋 bread recipe 🤗👍🏽👍🏽thanks to your grandma as well🙏🏽 Eating it as I write this lol.

[@Metemgee]

Thank you for sharing. I have an electric oven too. They are so tricky. Next time bake at 325 for a bit longer and that should help.

[@indrajasodrabhadaiaziz1248]

Have ever used Vegan butter with this recipe? Do let me know please. Love watching you work in the kitchen 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Metemgee]

Absolutely. My children are dairy free. I’ve used coconut butter and just vegan store bought butter too.

[@kawaliesurujballi6627]

It looks great so I'm guessing it tastes great too...taking your word for it! I usually bake bread on Saturdays,something for my Hubby to eat,if he didn't buy any...lol.At the beginning,sometimes it didn't have enough salt...(I noticed there was no salt added to yours.)...sometimes not enough sugar...but now I think I have it down pat.I also bake Salara (Guyanese red coconut roll)....and Guyanese Pine tarts.I also add an egg to 1 cup yogurt ,to my bread.

[@Metemgee]

I added salt to mine. I didn’t call it out in the video but I added it. Check the description box for the full printable recipe please.

[@marilynhope6462]

This looks really good and I like your temperament. However, I didn’t hear you mentioned you placed baking powder. I saw you sprinkled something on the bread when you started to mix it after adding the water/ sugar and yeast. Possibly that was the baking powder? Thank you. It looks great nevertheless.
