How to Make Bahamas Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add 4-4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  6. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 40 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  8. Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  9. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
