The tiny old wooden shack on San Juan hill which was the official "hops shop" of the area. It was 7 mins walk from my house. 6pm every day and more on weekends. We ate it with everything – from zaboca to salt fish. Ah hongry now!!

Yeah, so Longtime Baker, if you have nothing of merit to say, especially in a non abrasive manner, keep your comments to yourself and stop tainting the blogosphere. I think I'll have a lot of people backing me on that. You have a good day now

I believe I was quite clear in pointing out that white flour is the traditional method and that wholewheat is a variation that my family prefers. I'll let them know they are 'idiots'. Cheers

Being in the baking business for a long time….way back when we used to make hops bread with hops as the levening agent ( hence the name "Hops Bread") this recipe is a far far cry from hops to say the least. please go do some more research, since trinidadians NEVER made Hops Bread from Wholewheat flour. 'Wholewheat Hops' was only introduced when the health craze kicked in. Thus leaving the original recipe in shambles For all those health crazed idiots out there…Hops Bread is probably the only White flour bread that can match any health bread that is on the market now, since it is only made with Flour, Salt, Yeast (or Hops..if you can get it) and Shortening.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLease don't present yourself to be something you are not…By this recipe, you are definitely NOT a Baker
