JAMAICAN HARD DOUGH BREAD
Hard dough bread was introduced to the Jamaicans by the Chinese and is now a staple in Jamaican homes. Hard dough bread is similar to a Pullman loaf. It is a great bread for spreads such as butter or jam. Jamaican hard dough bread can be stored in the freezer and still retain its freshness. However, storing it in the refrigerator will actually cause the bread to go stale faster.
