Quick and Easy Trini Hops Bread

Hops bread is essentially the Trini version of dinner rolls. They are soft, airy and a bit crusty, but also have a light chew. Try it out and enjoy!

To prepare/bloom yeast add 1 tsp of sugar and yeast to warm water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. 2. In the meantime, combine flour, ¼ cup sugar, salt and melted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment. 3. When the yeast is ready slowly add it to the flour and mix on low speed to combine. Then switch to the dough hook and knead on medium speed for 5 minutes adding more flour or water as necessary. The dough should form a ‘ball’ around the dough hook- that’s when you know it is done . 4. I like to transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a few minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too soft when kneading, add some oil to your hands and this will prevent the dough from sticking. The dough should feel soft, smooth and elastic but not sticky. 5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, then turn it over so the top is lightly oiled. Cover and let rest in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until the dough is doubled. 6. Gently punch down the dough and divide and shape into 12-16 dough balls. Place the dough balls onto a greased baking sheet. 7. Cover and let rest for about 30-45 minutes or until the dough is doubled. 8. Bake in a preheated oven at 380°F for 20 to 25 minute or until lightly golden. 9. Remove from pan and enjoy hot with lots of butter. Tips 1. Liquids- you can use milk instead of water to make the hops, but this will produce a bread more similar to dinner rolls than traditional hops. 2. Yeast- if using instant yeast this can be added directly to the flour mixture- it’s not necessary to bloom it first in the water (I prefer to bloom it as this is how my Mom taught me). If using active- dry yeast you must bloom the yeast in liquid to activate it before adding to the flour. 3. Kneading- you may need to gradually add a little bit more flour or liquid to get the dough to the desired texture during kneading. You want a dough that is soft and elastic but not too sticky- so adjust accordingly. 4. Raise time and temperature- the time the dough takes to raise depends on the ambient temperature. In warm/tropical temperatures the dough will raise much faster compared to cold/temperate conditions. So be sure to check the size of the dough rather than the time to know when it has doubled. 5. Dough placement- when arranging the dough balls on the baking sheet you want to give the balls enough room to expand during the second raise and during baking so that they are touching after baking. This will ensure that the edges of the hops are soft. If the dough balls are placed too far apart the exterior will become too crusty. 6. This dough can easily be made by hand instead of a stand mixer- you will have to knead it a bit longer by hand until it is smooth and elastic. #recipe #homemade #bread
