Caribbean Recipes – Tennis Rolls

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Nov. 1, 2019:  This week we take you on a culinary journey to Guyana where the tennis roll is a popular type of bread, especially served with cheese. Here’s how to make it.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour

½ whole wheat flour

3/4 cup warm water

1/2 cup warm milk

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 Tbsp. yeast

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. vanilla essence

METHOD

Activate the yeast by adding it to warm water and letting it sit for 10 minutes, covered with a towel.

Add all the rest of the ingredients – except the flour – into the yeast mixture and stir well.

Add the two types of flour to a bowl and add the liquid mixture a bit at a time to form a dough.

Knead the dough for about 10-12 minutes.

Cover and set aside to rest for 45 mins.

Roll out dough into a long piece, cut into pieces and make into balls.

Cover and let rest for 35 minutes.

Place into an oiled and lightly floured baking pan and bake at 375 F for 20 mins.

Brush on top with sugar water and let it cool.

Enjoy warm or cold with cheese and butter inserted into a roll cut in the center!

Bon Appetite.
