I found this recipe today and thought I'd try it for my Jamaican husband. It turned out wonderful. He said "it looks like Hard dough bread, smells like it and wow, tastes like it"! Will make this often, I am sure!

This is good bread. As others have said, it's very close, but it's not quite the same as the one from the Caribbean shop. If someone figures out the secret to make it exactly right, I hope they share it. Do not make this recipe in the bread machine--one time I mixed the dough in the machine and baked in the oven, but it messed up the consistency of the bread.

A sweeter bread that is dense. I don't know what this is supposed to be like to compare so just giving my opinion. Will keep this recipe, but don't know how often I'll make. Maybe as a bun I'd find more uses for it so will try that I think.

This bread was excellent. I am of Jamaican decent and my aunt always sends me hard do bread from the caribbean shops. While this is not an exact replica, the taste is spot on and the consistency is very very close! I will make this recipe MANY more times, it is delicious and extremely close to the original.

Followed the directions exactly and it came out wonderful, even for the me--a first time bread maker. I love this bread! Much better than the store bought Hard Do Bread that I've bought. I make this all the time now and family/friends make requests for it!

It's Jamaica-approved. My husband loved the bread. Although I will say that it's not the exact same consistency of hard do bread (which is a very dense bread). This one's a bit fluffier. But still great.

Very good recipe! The taste/texture is very close to the store bought hard dough bread. I followed the recipe step by step. Just the right sweetness! Even better the next day...if it lasts that long (just delicious)! Will be making this again, and again, and again, and again, and... you get the point! Try it for what it is worth!
