TRADITIONAL BVI DUMB BREAD



Traditional Bvi Dumb Bread image

This quick bread is from the British Virgin Islands. The dough is put into a pot, which is set upon a stand made from an old, car-wheel rim welded into three steel legs. If you want to try this recipe at home, place a pot on an outdoor barbecue grill and use and aluminum cookie sheet to put the coals on. I have not tried this unsual bread myself but coppied the recipe out of a local Tortolan Magazine (whose name escapes me)while on holiday there.

  • Knead on a floured surface for three or four minutes (Do not over knead or the bread will get tight).
  • Form the dough into a ball and place on floured surface. Cover the dough with the bowl and let it rest for an hour or so (Resting the dough allows the gluten to develop and gives the bread chewiness).
