I enjoyed watching you prepare your Bajan Sweet bread . What I do different I put coconut in the middle instead of the fruit. I enjoyed watching you prepare Bajan dishes, you are keeping Bajan recipes alive, good job
Hello Eleanor, welcome!! Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it; there is a new updated one, will insert the link for you below. ruclips.net/video/MuAz4XfpuKI/видео.html
I am a bajan first time I see the fruit center. I usually do with coconut and sugar. I made it today your way just had to add my coconut with the fruit for the center. New ways is always welcome. I am visiting Barbados right now but these days you can't get good sweet bread at all.
Hello Annie, thank you so much for stopping by and yes we all do things a bit differently, fyi, there is sugar and coconut in the middle, I just prefer to add fruits in mine and I did say it was (optional). Yes you are so right, nothing is better than making it yourself, I hope you enjoy your stay, I will be there for Christmas, yeah!!! Have a bless week and I hope to hear from you again. I appreciate your support.
i guess im randomly asking but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Angel Tanner thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Definitely another method for me to try... i usually put a coconut mixture in the centre , ive never tried fruit but there is a first time for everything. Great video!
Kemarmom, thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you will come back, and I hope you try the recipe and let me know how it came out. Blessings to you.
Thank you Paulette for this lovely Bajan recipe! Instead of following the optional prep ahead coconut/fruit mix for the middle of the loaves, I'm going to use your recipe for COCONUT FILLING MIXTURE from Episode 32 - BAJAN (COCONUT) TURNOVERS. Mixed fruit was never a favorite of mine, so my mom always made mine with the coconut/essence/spice filling. Can't wait to try it ... Thanks again for the memories!
You learn something new every day. In all the years my father made sweet bread I never saw him use coconut water and he always had coconut running through the middle.
GM Friend, It's called being innovative, if you are going to use water, why not use the same water when you break the coconuts to grate and there is coconut in the middle I just choose to add more fruits to mine; everything is optional, nothing is written in stone. Thank you so much for your comment. It's a good day when you can learn something new or different. Blessings. Xo
Hi Paulette, nine months ago I said that I am going to try this method, well I tried it on October 23rd. the bread came out tasting really good, nice texture and golden brown in color, it is the best coconut bread recipe, the entire family loved it, kudos to you, keep up the good works!!!!!
I have not watched your recipe yet but read some of the comments. Glad to see that many people referred to the sweetened spiced coconut mixture running down the center because that is a basic aspect of traditional bajan coconut bread.
First time I am seeing the fruit center. Great idea. Will add some coconut to the fruits in the center. Nice presentation and I love the no eggs sweetbreads better. Yummy
Hello Jacinta!! Thank you so much for stopping by. I just happen to like it like that but everything is optional. So happy you liked it. Thanks again and I hope to see more of you, hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Xo
Hi Paulette, I tried this recipe and my sweetbreads came out lovely. Only thing is, I didn't put the filling in the middle. I like watching your recipe videos because you explain and teach so well. Thank you much😁🇧🇧
Catrina Hinds Hello Catrina, and that is quite ok, you customize it to your likings. I am so happy you visited and hope to see you back soon. Have a blessed week. 💋💕
Thanks Paulette for this sweet bread recipe. I baked it and now having a piece with some coffee as I type. It looks and tastes delicious...I will be baking this again... my only variation was that I swapped around the amount of butter and shortening..because that is how my mom and grand ma did it..and I used plant based milk substitute ( coconut flavour) instead of milk, which worked well I think. Love your videos.

Mum would put coconut mixed with sugar in the center of the loaf as an option just as you did with fruits. Love your channel since I discovered subscribed so I can get your recipes. Have you made cassava pone yet?
Hello Hazel and Welcome to my Channel, I am so happy to have you!!! I did put coconut in the middle but I add extra fruits just because I like to see the fruits as well but you can omit the fruits and put the coconut only.

I've check alot of recipes but I will try yours but instead of the fruits in the middle I will put the coconut and sugar mixture your recipe is simple and easy...
Thank you so much for trying my recipe, that is the good thing about it, you can take something from mine, something from someone else or tweak it to your liking. Let me know how you do, and have a blessed day. Xo
Hey Paulette first time I saw a fruit center. Guessing it could be good. I like your channel. Wish I had some tea with a slice of that bread. Looks amazing as usual.
Hello Jerome, sorry for the late response, sometimes we don't always see the notifications until months after and you happen to go in for some reason. But thank you so much, the fruits is just my way, I try to use more natural sweetness rather than too much sugar but everything is optional. I appreciate the watch, I might be doing a revised version very soon so be on the look out for it. Xo
Nice recipe. One thing though, was the small portion of coconut and fruit taken out of the larger amount or was it an addition. Thank you. The bread looks very moist and tender.
Hello Carmen, the smaller amount was taken from the larger portion, fyi, you can always tweak it to your preference. Fyi, if you have not seen my new and updated version here is the link below and thank you so much for your support, I truly appreciate it. ruclips.net/video/MuAz4XfpuKI/видео.html
Please tell me what I am doing wrong? The centre of my loaves is not crumbly. It is mushy like a flour dumpling. Could it be the coconut mix in the centre?
Ohh dear, I have no idea what your doing wrong, maybe you didn't knead it enough or you put too much coconut in the center, you have to make sure it cooks on medium heat to cook through. Have you seen my new update, this one is so much more easier, I will leave the link below for you and God's speed next time. ruclips.net/video/MuAz4XfpuKI/видео.html
Hello Haynes, sorry for the late response, I don't think that the texture will be the same and I will advise if you decided to use the butter, it must be unsalted but here is a suggestion, you can try the organic coconut oil, hope that help. Thank you so much for your support, I truly appreciate it. Ohhhh, I might be making a easier updated version very soon, coincidentally I am making some today and I think I will be trying it with the coconut oil so keep an eye out for that. Xo
Hello Joanna, so sorry I am now seeing your comment and I am happy that you have tried it; so sorry to hear it came out a little soft, it all depends on the flour you are using, the flour do vary depends on where you live. I would adjust the baking powder just a bit and knead a little long with a bit more flour, I hope this was helpful for you. Thank you so much for watching and let me know how the next one do. Be safe and well. Xoxo
@joanna.. Yes, lessen the amount of baking powder or reduce the liquid content since brown sugar, fruits, coconut also contains some liquid. Hope this info. helps and enjoy!
Hey Anthony, I am sorry it didn't came out on your first try, you might want to give it a go a couple more times and hopefully you will see where you went wrong, thanks so much watching and be blessed.
Hello Anthea, I have a girlfriend with that name. My dear, I am not sure where you live but if I remember correctly I got the bowl from Jamaica Avenue in Queens, New York many years ago and they are still in great condition to this day, love the stainless steel. Thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you again. Blessings. Xoxo
Hi Meleka! thank you so much for stopping by, I hope that you will visit again, I do have lots of good things to share for the holidays coming up. Please let me know how the bread comes out. Much blessings.
Hello there. This looks good and I would like to try it. Please tell me what is the "spice" that you listed in the ingredients? I am in America and I've seen a few Bajan recipes that call for spice but I have no idea what that spice is. Is it the same thing as allspice? Or is it pudding spice? Or is it something else completely?
Hi!!! Okay it is not the pumpkin spice that we get here in the U S, I got it in Barbados; it is just regular spice. If you can get it from there or have someone get it for you that would be great; just make sure to get enough that will last you a while until you can get it again. I hope that helps and thank you so much for watching and supporting, much appreciated.
Well, Good Morning JayJay9j; I would be more than happy to do that for you but I have 3 videos already scheduled so yours would be the 4th one out. Thank you so much for your support, I truly appreciate it and have a blessed day.

edwiner nonofyourbusiness Hello 👋 Edwiner I am so happy you are going to try it; I know many people do not like the fruits but the good thing is you can always tweak it to your likings. Let me know how it came out for you. Thanks 🙏 again.
Hey Cuz, I thought you watched this video already, lol. How are you doing, don't be a stranger. How is the house coming along, look out for my green banana cou cou next week and I will be working on my Trailer video soon to come, featuring your breadfruit tree. Yes, the batter is safe to taste, no eggs. Thanks so much for your support, I truly appreciate it and hopefully you will see me again this year with Tony of course. Xoxo
It looks delicious I wish I could have a piece My tried to make it also but I didn’t add all those ingredients My grandma used to make it also but I don’t think she added all the fruit only when she make rum cake Are you from Barbadoes thank you I will try it ....getting fat now 😂
Hello there! yes I am a Bajan and love my sweet bread, you can adjust the fruits or whatever ingredients you want to; if you are making it to sell then most people wouldn't make it like that but if your are making just for your family then absolutely but give it a try and let me know how you like it (and don't eat too much) lol. Thank you so much for watching and have a great Sunday.
No Marguerite I don't have a restaurant and I don't sell either, I usually make it for the holidays for my family and friends; so sorry my dear. I live in Long Island, N.Y., might go home for the holidays.

Hi Katy, I would love to help you but unfortunately I am currently babysitting my 3 Gran babies indefinitely plus I have other commitments but I would start with 2 cups of flour with about 1 tspn baking powder and everything else to taste or break down the recipe in thirds. Maybe when I have more time on my hands I will make a small batch for beginners. Unfortunately I don't know how to cook in small portions. Lol

Hello Haynes, sorry for the late response, I don't think that the texture will be the same and I will advise if you decided to use the butter, it must be unsalted but here is a suggestion, you can try the organic coconut oil, hope that help. Thank you so much for your support, I truly appreciate it. Ohhhh, I might be making a easier updated version very soon, coincidentally I am making some today and I think I will be trying it with the coconut oil so keep an eye out for that. Xo
Hi Paulette bring home them bread in them pans 😃😄😃 sweet sweet lovely👍
Thank you for watching!!!! And hope to see more of you; have a blessed day.
I did your sweet bread and it was really good. It was soft, but I like it a bit harder, what can I do to get that texture.
Hello Joanna, so sorry I am now seeing your comment and I am happy that you have tried it; so sorry to hear it came out a little soft, it all depends on the flour you are using, the flour do vary depends on where you live. I would adjust the baking powder just a bit and knead a little long with a bit more flour, I hope this was helpful for you. Thank you so much for watching and let me know how the next one do. Be safe and well. Xoxo
@joanna.. Yes, lessen the amount of baking powder or reduce the liquid content since brown sugar, fruits, coconut also contains some liquid. Hope this info. helps and enjoy!
You're welcome Pauline 👍great
Thank you!!!! Xo
@@EverythingPaulette blessings 🙏👌🤗
I'm not sure how you got that texture with 6 cups of plain or regular flour. After adding all ingredients, my texture was very loose and wet.
Hey Anthony, I am sorry it didn't came out on your first try, you might want to give it a go a couple more times and hopefully you will see where you went wrong, thanks so much watching and be blessed.
I'm definitely trying this. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely!!! I can't wait to see it. Tfw
Looks awesome! Where did you buy your mixing bowl? That size is perfect.
Hello Anthea, I have a girlfriend with that name. My dear, I am not sure where you live but if I remember correctly I got the bowl from Jamaica Avenue in Queens, New York many years ago and they are still in great condition to this day, love the stainless steel. Thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you again. Blessings. Xoxo
Hi Paulette, thank you so much for responding so quickly. I'm familiar with Queens especially Jamaica Avenue. Love your calm and sweet personality!

Hello there. This looks good and I would like to try it. Please tell me what is the "spice" that you listed in the ingredients? I am in America and I've seen a few Bajan recipes that call for spice but I have no idea what that spice is. Is it the same thing as allspice? Or is it pudding spice? Or is it something else completely?
Hi!!! Okay it is not the pumpkin spice that we get here in the U S, I got it in Barbados; it is just regular spice. If you can get it from there or have someone get it for you that would be great; just make sure to get enough that will last you a while until you can get it again. I hope that helps and thank you so much for watching and supporting, much appreciated.
Use cinnamon it’s just darker in colour and has more flavour in my opinion
Hi, what is the BP in your recipe?
Hello Cheryl, I jus happen to see your comment; ok BP is "Baking Powder" so sorry about that. Thank you for watching!!! Xo
Mix peals does offset d hole bread
Absolutely not, but you don't have to put it in, you can custom it to your liking. Thanks so much for watching. Xo

Thank you sooo much for stopping by, I truly appreciate your support, I hope you will check out some of my recent videos as well. Much blessings.
I will try it with raisins only I hate the fruits
edwiner nonofyourbusiness Hello 👋 Edwiner I am so happy you are going to try it; I know many people do not like the fruits but the good thing is you can always tweak it to your likings. Let me know how it came out for you. Thanks 🙏 again.
It's egg-less so you can safely taste the batter before you put it in the oven
Hey Cuz, I thought you watched this video already, lol. How are you doing, don't be a stranger. How is the house coming along, look out for my green banana cou cou next week and I will be working on my Trailer video soon to come, featuring your breadfruit tree. Yes, the batter is safe to taste, no eggs. Thanks so much for your support, I truly appreciate it and hopefully you will see me again this year with Tony of course. Xoxo
Luv your way
Thank you soooo much!!!!!! Merry Christmas.
I love it warm
Thank you so much for your support Joy, I truly appreciate it.
It looks delicious I wish I could have a piece
My tried to make it also but I didn’t add all those ingredients
My grandma used to make it also but I don’t think she added all the fruit only when she make rum cake
Are you from Barbadoes thank you I will try it ....getting fat now 😂
Hello there! yes I am a Bajan and love my sweet bread, you can adjust the fruits or whatever ingredients you want to; if you are making it to sell then most people wouldn't make it like that but if your are making just for your family then absolutely but give it a try and let me know how you like it (and don't eat too much) lol. Thank you so much for watching and have a great Sunday.
Hey Paulette my family are coming to Barbadoes 20/20 do you have a restaurant or do you sell the bread
No Marguerite I don't have a restaurant and I don't sell either, I usually make it for the holidays for my family and friends; so sorry my dear. I live in Long Island, N.Y., might go home for the holidays.
THANK YOU FOR REPPING, AWESOME!!!!!

Thank you sooooo much for Subscribing and supporting my Channel, I really do appreciate it, be blessed.
Good recipe. I wish I had the extract to make it tho
I mAdE This so This could have 69 comments
If you don't have extract, you can use essence
@@abundance6560 Hello, so sorry I am now seeing your question; extract and essence is the same thing. Have a blessed weekend and thank you so much for watching!!
If I wanted to double the amount of bread I should double the ingredients
Really 🤷♀️😀
One of my favs!
I know it's sweet bread but most go overboard with the sugar.
Hello Fernando, I know exactly what you mean but the good thing about it is you can always adjust your sugar; you do not have to follow a recipe to the "T". Thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it. Have a blessed day.

We have the same last name.
I want to do one send me measurements for one please
Hi Katy, I would love to help you but unfortunately I am currently babysitting my 3 Gran babies indefinitely plus I have other commitments but I would start with 2 cups of flour with about 1 tspn baking powder and everything else to taste or break down the recipe in thirds. Maybe when I have more time on my hands I will make a small batch for beginners. Unfortunately I don't know how to cook in small portions. Lol

No thanks.
You lost me at "...margarine...".

This was not finished baking. can see some uncooked mixture in the middle. not good
I suggest you put your bifocals on before judging wrongfully. Don't hate.
grant v walcot walcot hi
Grant V Walcot your eyes must be in eclipse, where did you see uncooked mixture? It's fruits that's in the middle, so just shut up. How about you doing some and letting us see what you can do. You got to be a Bajan.
That's how a proper sweetbread should look you knob
You mean it looks moist? I seem to like it this way😌 Hate dry out bread🙄
the next time take paint off your fingers.it's not healthy eating that bread.
Nice
Thank you Gregg, I hope you check out some of my other video. Be safe.
