you know i am an old guyanese 50 yr old aunty from corporate America - I can't believe I need a millenial to teach me how to bake plait bread! You are very thorough and I like the pace of your directions.
I use your recipe and my bread comes out perfect every time! It’s been over 4 years and I always come back to your recipe when I make mine for the holidays or before a fast
I followed this recipe to make plait bread for my parents to eat with their pepper pot tomorrow morning. I made a trial loaf today and they loved it! Thanks for this tutorial
Matthew, you intone so very well that it is a pleasure listening to you. Your descriptions and explanations are easy to understand and you really seem to know what you are doing! Would you please do a pepperpot recipe if you haven't done so already? You also do not use an excessive amount of herbs and spices, which I like. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for sharing. Tried your recipe today and the bread came out so well that it was gone in minutes. It was soft and delicious. The amount of sugar was just right, not sweet at all. Keep up the amazing job. 🇬🇾🍞👍👍👍
I love your style of cooking..You are so clean young man..kudos to you..keep doing what you are doing just the way you are and ignore negative remarks..You can't please everyone...
Hi Matthew. I try your plat bread recipe. Must say it's the softest bread recipe ever. Very nice and easy to follow I do a lot of baking especially bread,one of the best. Thanks for sharing.
Ay bai, Look who is a left hand! Me too! 😂 So glad you made this video, been spoiled when I was living in NJ/NY. Keep your wonderful videos coming.. much love from Texas!
I'm watching this while mixing mine. My Grandma used to make bread just like this when we were kids. I came here to check how to make it and its just amazing. Your bread is so fat and fluffy. Yummy in my Tummy lol. Thanks bro, i'll definitely subscribe and like...
I made this recipe twice during the holiday season and it really is impeccable. The bread was amazing and the perfect complement to our pepper pot. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Matthew. Happy New Year to you and your family, wishing you continued success in 2020!! :)
Matthew's Guyanese Cooking I sure will let you know :-). Want to make the bread soon. Just one small question. Here in Europe we measure with a scale. Did you also use the measuring cup for the flour in which the liquid goes?
Hi Mathew, love your cooking techniques. I just tried your recipe today for plait bread and the only thing I didn't have was crisco, so I used 2 tablespoons of "Kelapo Ghee". It came out so soft and the texture was just perfect! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you so much! P.S. If you have a recipe for tennis rolls, I'd love to try that. 😊
Anjali Adam Hi there! I am glad the ghee worked out nice variation. I am actually working on a tennis roll recipe right now I will post it in the future.
Hi again Chef Mathew! I wanted to give an update to my first comment. I only had rapid rise yeast, so I mixed all the other ingredients, then added half a pack of the DRY rapid rise yeast (1 teaspoon) to the mix and this time I used 1 tablespoon of ghee instead of 2, and warm water to form dough. Then after kneeding just the same as before, I made my plait and let it sit for about an hour and baked for the same 25 mins at 350*. It came out perfect and no different than the first way. I read that you do not have to proof rapid rise yeast (only active dry) nor let rise two times which saved a little time for if you're in a rush. Thank you again!
You have to show us how to make pepper pot to eat with that delicious bread also if you can show us how to make pan bread and tennis rolls and pastries lol.. Am getting hungry here.. God bless your grandmother for teaching you how to cook..
The bread fell apart a bit because I didn't allow it to rise enough the second rise. I have practiced a lot more since this video and that is what I have come to find out
I really appreciate the your video also how you give all your ingredients upfront. I'd really appreciate it if you can mention the measurement when introducing the ingredients. How do I find the measurements of your ingredients .
Any idea how many loafs of bread are recommended to bake at once? I want to make this to go with my dad’s pepperpot…but we need more than one loaf. I dnt want to overfill the oven and mess up temp time
Nice video! 👍🏿 If I wanted to make 2 loaves of bread, how would I multiply this recipe? Should mix everything together and divide the dough before or after rising? Or should I make the two loaves separately? Thank you
Really good Matthew, I watched with my 4 year old who said: "mum should be we buy him a mixer? Lol! These 21st century Western kids ain't got a clue. Lol! My only comment would be please use scaled amounts as well as cups, cups are inaccurate and annoying to covert,
My mom & I were looking for a recipe similar to my grandma and this is exactly it! We used RAPID DRY yeast which skipped the step of letting it set etc...and just added it all together but this came out perfect. So good and soft. Perfect guyanese plait bread!
When I am in New York I use 5 rose because it's available but at home I normally use pillsbury, gold medal, or the publix brand. Its comes out soft with the 5 rose as well.
I try your oil Roti recipe.. It came out great.!!! You're so ambitious for a young man.. Who thought you to cook? BTW can you show us how to make dhal puri. Plzzz
you know i am an old guyanese 50 yr old aunty from corporate America - I can't believe I need a millenial to teach me how to bake plait bread! You are very thorough and I like the pace of your directions.
Thank you for the kind comments. Hope you enjoy the recipe

It is what my grandmother always does. However I have newer recipes not using the baking powder
Matthew's Guyanese Cooking oh I see that makes sense then. I will most definitely give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing.

Matthew's Guyanese Cooking I sure will let you know :-). Want to make the bread soon.
Just one small question. Here in Europe we measure with a scale. Did you also use the measuring cup for the flour in which the liquid goes?
Mon Chi I used the dry measuring cups for the dry ingredients.

Yay! Happy everyone enjoyed
you are the King ok my man . great video .. i will make it now ,, thx bro !
No prob!
I enjoy watching your video can u do a video on how to icing cake please
Yes will do that at some point
This is lovely all’s needed is some Pepperpot
Dorothy Anikpe Agreed!
love to vew you cooking show very nice.
I can't wait to make this over the holidays. Can you please tell me if I'm using salted or unsalted butter?
You can use either or. Depends on your tastes and preferences
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 Thank you. Super excited to start baking.
Hey Mathew I was wondering for your new updated recipe you didn't specify how much baking powder to use.
I don’t add any baking powder anymore. It comes out better without it
This recipe is on the money. All that is missing is some pepperpot.
I have that recipe on my channel too. 🙏 Thanks
Hi Mathew, love your cooking techniques. I just tried your recipe today for plait bread and the only thing I didn't have was crisco, so I used 2 tablespoons of "Kelapo Ghee". It came out so soft and the texture was just perfect! This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you so much!

Taste of Trini sent me, I'm looking forward to binge-watching your videos now :)
Please do lol. I have been watching your videos with Taste of Trini. I hope you enjoy my channel.
I love all your videos! Please do a video for pepper pot. You have a lot of time to post in time for Christmas :D
Rena Hasnoo I will be doing pepperpot in a couple of weeks
Thanks for the upload! Can you make salara? I would love to see your version.
Sam Shepard I will make it very soon.
Hi there
I'm a new subscriber.
I'm using your receipt. I'm baking it now.... Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why did you use baking g powder and yeast? I enjoyed your recipe. It's always a pleasure watching you. Thanks for sharing
That's how my grandmother showed me. Thanks for watching!
Damn u can plait bread good!! Good demonstration gonna plait mines cant wait to try this
Lol thanks. And thank you for watching!
Hi Matthew! Lovely reciepe! Was wondering salted or unsalted butter? Sometimes it's confusing bc there's so much butter out there. Thanks in advance 👍
You have to show us how to make pepper pot to eat with that delicious bread also if you can show us how to make pan bread and tennis rolls and pastries lol.. Am getting hungry here.. God bless your grandmother for teaching you how to cook..
Saveeta Maharaj I will do more pastries soon. Thank you for the kind words!
How did that 4th log come from? Did it ha w an original functional purpose? Appears to cause the bread to fall apart.
The bread fell apart a bit because I didn't allow it to rise enough the second rise. I have practiced a lot more since this video and that is what I have come to find out
Please explain the reason why you add baking powder to the bread because I've never heard of it
Matthew the cup measure is the baking cup not 8 oz right?
It is the regular fry measuring cups from the grocery store
I really appreciate the your video also how you give all your ingredients upfront. I'd really appreciate it if you can mention the measurement when introducing the ingredients. How do I find the measurements of your ingredients .
As I say in every video. Look in the description box below the video
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 Thank you I just had to click more to extend the box. Appreciate it. Love you videos. Keep posting.
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 I'd like the recipe for Guyana style custard.
Thanks
@@patsysami1916 The baked custard is already on my channel
May I ask , where did you learn to cook and what motivate you to do this show . For someone so young , I'm curious .
My grandmother's, aunts and other amazing chefs in my family inspired me.
Hi Matthew this looks delicious but can bread flour be use thanks for sharing 😘
Yup you can use bread flour. Omit the baking powder.
Does the added raising agent, baking powder, make the bread softer?
To be honest I stopped putting it in my bread. If you look at my more recent bread videos. Actually better to just use yeast
Any idea how many loafs of bread are recommended to bake at once? I want to make this to go with my dad’s pepperpot…but we need more than one loaf. I dnt want to overfill the oven and mess up temp time
You can make like 3-4 loaves in the oven. It won’t mess up the cooking you’ll prob just have to switch it around a bit to get it brown
Happy Holidays, do you have a recipe book
Happy Holidays! I do not have one right now, but I do hope to make one in the future.
Nice
Nice video! 👍🏿 If I wanted to make 2 loaves of bread, how would I multiply this recipe? Should mix everything together and divide the dough before or after rising? Or should I make the two loaves separately? Thank you
You can mix and double everything in the same bowl. And once it's done rising, you can split the dough into 2 loaves.
Matthew's Guyanese Cooking Alright thank you Matthew! (My name’s Matthew too lol)
Thank you .. I can taste it
😁😁😁
Really good Matthew, I watched with my 4 year old who said: "mum should be we buy him a mixer? Lol! These 21st century Western kids ain't got a clue. Lol! My only comment would be please use scaled amounts as well as cups, cups are inaccurate and annoying to covert,
Do you make any cassareep pork? Please can you post it.
I have never made it but it'll definitely work. Ill try to do a video soon
My mom & I were looking for a recipe similar to my grandma and this is exactly it! We used RAPID DRY yeast which skipped the step of letting it set etc...and just added it all together but this came out perfect. So good and soft. Perfect guyanese plait bread!
Im really happy to know it came out well. I will be doing another recipe for a big batch soon too.
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 can I use instant yeast for this recipe?
@@brandonsharma4715 yes. Any yeast works
Can I do this without the crisco?
Use all butter instead
Hiii how many minutes to knead the dough
Until it bounces back
instead of kneading , can i use my kitchen aid with dough hook?
Yes you can!
Can you use ghee instead of butter or shortening?
Yes
What brand of flower you used? I'm planning on five rose
When I am in New York I use 5 rose because it's available but at home I normally use pillsbury, gold medal, or the publix brand. Its comes out soft with the 5 rose as well.
PS very pretty bracelet!
Can i make it without Crisco ..dont have any on hand right now
Substitute butter for it
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 wow instant reply Thank you
@@reneehercules2879 lol lemme know how the bread comes out
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 yes definitely
Can adding a tad more butter that the recipe calls for make the bread flat?
It could possibly do that. I have never had that issue so I am not too sure
Matthew's Guyanese Cooking I think my water was too hot and I didn’t knead it long enough.. 5-10 minutes by hand is enough?
@@isaiahdagreatest8963 10 minutes kneading is fine. The water being too hot or cold will make it flat though
What don't you know how to make lol great job 👍🏼
Shivani There's not much lol.
he going to find a WIFE JUST LIKE THIS REAL SOON!!!1
Shivani this guy is my go too guy
Will bread flour work or do you need all purpose?
Yes you can use either.
Can you do again using stand mixer?
Ed Ramcharran Sure thing!
Why baking powder too ,when you’re using yeast
What do you mean by shortening?
please.
Beryl Rose Vegetable shortening/ Crisco.
its the short way for saying shortening my dear , LOL , how come you dont know what shortening is ?
I try your oil Roti recipe.. It came out great.!!! You're so ambitious for a young man.. Who thought you to cook? BTW can you show us how to make dhal puri. Plzzz
Saveeta Maharaj Thank you! My grandmothers and aunts taught me how to cook. I will do dhalpuri very soon.
A good trick for a nice plait is X all three in the middle and plait down to each end.
Cutey K I will keep that in mind for next time
how much grams is the yeast u used?
It is a 2 teaspoon package. Not sure of the grams
