My dearest Matthew ♥️ This is, in my opinion, the best salara recipe out here. I'm 8.5 months pregnant and have tried a few different ones, but this will be my go-to moving forward 😊😋
I can’t tell you how wonderful this recipe has been, just made this salara and my gosh it’s so tasty and soft! Thank you Matthew for sharing your talent with us. I’m sending this recipe to all my Guyanese friends to try!
Matthew, while I do not know you personally I would like to thank you so freaking much for your amazing cooking channel. I was up so late last night making Salara in Austin, Texas for the first time. It came out amazing. I wish I could share a pic. I can’t tell you how happy I am. All my life of living in Guyana I have never had fresh salara. Thank you for your warmth and every detail and even the measurements you share. You are the King of Guyanese cooking and should be very proud of yourself. Thank you for making cooking fun and easy ❤
Thank you for watching and enjoying my videos. And thank you for the kind words, I’m happy my channel could bring you a taste of home. I am on FB and Instagram if you’d like to share .
I used this recipe to make salara for the first time and it came out absolutely delicious!! Thanks for using the coconut flakes. I struggle to make Guyanese dishes with US ingredients so I'm happy that you incorporate those into your recipes. You were absolutely right about the food coloring too!
Oh my goodness. I made this today. It is DELICIOUS. Growing up in the islands we called it Russ. I have made different salara recipes but, this is the closest to what I grew up with. This was perfectly done, soft, and yum 😋 yum 😋. Thank you. This is definitely a keeper
I literally can’t stop eating it. Good thing I am taking the bulk of it to my 2 sisters. It definitely brings back fond memories. You’re right, can’t buy this from the store. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Hi Mathew, I just made some salara using your recipe. It turned out realy realy good and not a very sweet recipe. Always enjoy your recepies. Hoping to see more of your posts in the future. Tomorrow I will be trying your recipe for tennis roll. Wish u all the best for the holidays and 2024.
Hi Matthew, that is so homely..I just was walking on Flatbush Avenue looking for some of that ,but there was none. I haven't had it in a long time..keep well..
I live in Flatbush too there is a good Guyanese spot not to far from Eramus High School called Island Express..I go there when I want some good Guyanese food and baked goods. Their salara is soooooo goood!
This is the best recipe. I tweaked a couple of things and came out perfect. Soft bread and moist filling. Taste just like Guyana and made me feel like I’m back there. Thank you so much Matthew. I will try your tennis roll recipe next.
Hi msthew, I did try out your salara recipe and it was the best salara ever had. Did try many more of your they recipes. Keep posting wonderful Guyenese recipes.
Hi Matthew I Really Enjoy Watching Your Cooking Show I am Watching how u Making Salara 🎊🙏Thank u soo much For Sharing Your Recipe 🙏🙏🎊🎊 I couldn't see the Recipe on Your Description box below 🎊🎊🙏🇬🇾🇬🇾
Omg I’m so glad you posted this because I’ve been waiting for you to make this video!! I def need to try to make this now! Also, where do you buy your powdered food coloring?
I tried this yesterday and it was perfect. My family was raving. I used frozen grated coconut and it turned out wonderful. Thank you Matthew for sharing your knowledge with us👍
Delicious 🤤 definitely will try this. If I did want to use fresh coconut, how many coconuts should I use and can I still add condensed milk to this recipe? Thanks for sharing as always ❤️
Hope you enjoy!! You can definitely use fresh coconut for this, but you will want to omit the butter and cut the water by 1/2. Also you can use the condensed milk. 5 cups is about 2 coconuts I believe (give or take- depends on the size).
I love how juicy and soft it looks. I will give it a try. Hey Matt, can you make goat-stones (they are like donut holes) and share with us? That's a Guyanese sweets I haven't had for a long time🙂 thank you 🙏
Yeah the raising is imperative to getting that soft texture. But everything is trial and error of course. Thanks for giving my recipe a chance and a try. Appreciate the support
Right below the video you will see a drop down menu. Click on it and it will drop down and reveal the measurements. You may need to scroll after clicking
What do I need to do differently if using instant yeast? Since the dry yeast needs to bloom with water and sugar, do I add extra water and sugar so the recipe when using instant yeast?
I use the instant yeast and it's fine. Just knead your flour with the dry yeast and liquid...roll out and fill with the coconut. Let this rise for about 45 mins...then straight to the oven.
It happens sometimes because it is so juicy. Don’t reduce the sugar or it will become dry. After you form the roll try to let it rest for like 45 min more then bake. It should give the dough a chance to rise and relax a bit
Sometime it just leaks because of not being closed. Sometimes it bursts in the oven. But when it bursts you know it's going to be moist and juicy on the inside 😋
You have to pinch them together and then tuck them slightly under the loaf. Make sure you pinch the seams so nothing comes out too. Some people rub water around the edges, but I don't because as long as you don't use too much flour to roll it out then it should stick just fine.
Why don't you mention what the measurements are while you're showing how it's made. I know you have the measurements listed, but it would make it so much easier if you say the measurements while you are doing it. Thanks.
Hey Matthew this my 4th time making this recipe. Excellent recipe. Thank you. I enjoy all your videos. The only thing is I have trouble sealing the bottom its keeps opening lol. Thanks again.

Please post a video on guyana patty yummy.
I have 2 recipes already. Chicken and beef on the channel
So I tried this however, I forgot to let it raise the second time b4 putting it into the oven lol 🙃 it was a bit tough but still tasted delicious
Yeah the raising is imperative to getting that soft texture. But everything is trial and error of course. Thanks for giving my recipe a chance and a try. Appreciate the support
@@matthewsguyanesecooking4601 ur most welcome
Instead of brushing butter on to I did a sugar syrup an drizzled it with icing
You can definitely do that
Mathew looks delicious at what temperature did you bake and for how long I want to try this recipe
350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes
I can’t find where to look for the wonderful and delicious measurements. I know u said down below. But I can’t find it. Thank you.

What do I need to do differently if using instant yeast? Since the dry yeast needs to bloom with water and sugar, do I add extra water and sugar so the recipe when using instant yeast?
For the instant yeast you can technically just add it straight into the dough. But I also like to bloom it just like the regular yeast
I use the instant yeast and it's fine.
Just knead your flour with the dry yeast and liquid...roll out and fill with the coconut. Let this rise for about 45 mins...then straight to the oven.
Matthew tell mommy I'm coming for you pack your bags no joke
🤣 You are kidnapping or marrying?
Hi Matthew, looks absolutely delicious.
Thank you

Hi Matthew. Some chicken foot video 📸 will be awesome.
Thanks for watching. That video is already on my channel.
Damn it looks good from here thanks bro
It was absolutely delicious! Hope you give it a try
Where is the recipe? I want those yummy salara. Can’t get it here in Florida
It is in the description box right below the video
Have you got a list of the ingredients and measurements to follow recipe?
In the description right below the video. Click and scroll on the drop down menu
Hi Matthew could you please help me ? Why is my salara kept busting on the side? I have reduced the sugar amount, but still.
It happens sometimes because it is so juicy. Don’t reduce the sugar or it will become dry. After you form the roll try to let it rest for like 45 min more then bake. It should give the dough a chance to rise and relax a bit
Hey have ever made cream of wheat
Hi Matthew… I love this recipe and have made it a few times, but it always leaks. Do you have any suggestions?
Sometime it just leaks because of not being closed. Sometimes it bursts in the oven. But when it bursts you know it's going to be moist and juicy on the inside 😋
Hi Matthew how did you sealed the ends
You have to pinch them together and then tuck them slightly under the loaf. Make sure you pinch the seams so nothing comes out too. Some people rub water around the edges, but I don't because as long as you don't use too much flour to roll it out then it should stick just fine.
If you're using sweetened Coconut. Why are you adding more sugar.
You need enough sugar to make it juicy inside. You don’t have to add more but it will be a little dry
Does anyone know why its colored red? I guess its like red velvet cake, it just is.
It’s just a traditional thing. You do not have to color it if you don’t want to. It’s also known as red bread or red cake because of the color
Yummy😋😋❤️, did u use egg wash on your salara?
No egg wash.
Can i use self rising flour for the dough
You can try it. It will have a cakier texture because of the baking powder. You can also try to mix self rising and all purpose
Ok so the all purpose flour that u are using doesn't have any baking powder? Just want to make sure
@@timothysingh5500 exactly
Why don't you mention what the measurements are while you're showing how it's made. I know you have the measurements listed, but it would make it so much easier if you say the measurements while you are doing it. Thanks.

@@naviniedwarka3002 thank you for watching and enjoying. I tend to have the same issue sometimes lol. But it just means it's super juicy lol
