So good news! For those of you who are familiar with the Bahamian locals favorite Bahama Bread you no longer have to smuggle it back to Miami from a Bimini Bay weekend run. For those of you who don't know what Bahama Bread is its like a little taste of heaven...its bread obviously hence the name but, with a sweetness that is unmistakable. If we had to compare here then lets just say its along the lines of a pannetone and challah. Yumminess all the way to the last slice.
The genius behind mastering the recipe of this incredible bread is Lissette she is the creator of Bahama Bread Company. Lissette grew up vacationing with family and friends to and from the Bahamas. For your info the first thing you do after or sometimes maybe before going through customs is locating one of these loaves of love. It is not as easy as you may think because with the laid back pace (thats being kind) of this sunny paradiso is its not always available and maybe 5-10 loaves will be baked fresh daily. These sell like hot cakes as you can imagine. So to our lucky surprise Lissette has them ready locally for you when you call and she can deliver right to your door step in an adorable basket, now thats service!
Regular loaf of Bahama bread will run 7 bucks and a MUST try is the Coconut version which is above and beyond amazing for around 8 bucks its all yours. Note she has some sand dollar inspired chocolate or coconute cookies that are worth the try as well. Oopsy, almost forgot she does gift baskets too that start at 45 bucks cool and a super duper gifty. Now, thats not all folks it gets better...you don't have to feel guilty about this purchase because a portion of the proceeds goes back to a charity organization called Island Relief! AMAZING.
Just some ideas of what to do besides toasting and smothering butter on some thick slices of this ridiculously good bread...french toast it, breakfast sandwich it, grill cheese it, crouton it, pizza it or just let your imagination run wild however you choose to do it up its freakin awesome.
I apologize to getting a bit carried away...this post just got me hungry...ek!
