Belizean Creole Bread
Description
Pulling on Caribbean roots, Creole Bread would just be yet another plain white bread if it weren’t for the addition of fragrant, full-fat coconut milk. Lending to its richness and fat content without weighing down its crumb, Creole Bread is easy to eat still warm from the oven with absolutely nothing on it, with a pat of butter, or my favorite: with a healthy swipe of homemade Guava Jelly from Placencia Village. Pro tip: do as Belizeans do and slice this delicacy down vertically—not across.
