Today I am sharing a traditional recipe from back home in the Caribbean. It is served at festive gatherings, Christmas, dedications, birthday etc...
Pain au Beurre - Butter Bread
4 cups flour + 2-4 Tbsp
125g (1/2 cup) butter
200 ml milk (half of it can be water)
3 Tbsp water
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 yeast
Preparation:
1. Melt the butter and mix in the sugar, eggs , milk and water.
2. Mix flour, salt and yeast.
3. Mix the liquid to the dry ingredients.
5. Punch dough down and divide into 2.
6.Take one batch and divide into 3 equal sizes. Form each into long strings and shape the 3 stands into a braid.
Bread machine option:
Put all the ingredients in the bread machine in the ordered specified by your machine.
Once dough is ready continue on from # 5.
This is great right out of the oven, or can be frozen, then warmed up in foil in an oven and eaten with a warm hot bowl of chocolate milk.
