Ingredients: 3 1/2 c. warm water (100 degrees)
2 tbsp. sugar
2 oz. yeast
8 c. high gluten flour (white or wheat)
3 tbsp. shortening
1/3 c. milk powder
1 tbsp. salt
1 Bermuda onion, diced
2 tbsp. poppy seeds

Combine the water and yeast mixture with the dry ingredients and add onion, poppy seeds, and parsley. Mix with dough hook for 3 or 4 minutes or knead by hand for 10 minutes. Let the dough rise, covered, for 20 or 30 minutes. Remove it and knead briefly on a floured counter, then cut into 3 even pieces. Let rise again for 10 minutes. Pound bread down to release air bubbles and roll into loaves, tucking in the seams. Place in greased bread tins and let rise again until the dough reaches the top of the pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 35 minutes. Cool before slicing. Makes 3 loaves.

Ingredients:
12 lbs. grated cassava
2 lbs. Sugar
8 oz. condensed milk
27 eggs, unbeaten
2 pounds melted butter
3 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons nutmeg
Brandy to taste
5 lbs. Chicken
2.5 lbs. cubed pork
Cooking Instructions:
Put cassava into large bowl. Cover with sugar. Add condensed milk, eggs, butter, salt, nutmeg and brandy. Blend thoroughly. Place half of this mixture in large greased baking pan, making sure there is at least 1.5 inches of batter on the bottom. Put chicken and pork in a pot, cover with water, and add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer till meat is just tender. Remove the chicken meat from the bones, and then ladle meats over the cassava batter, adding a little stock. Cover the meat filling with the rest of the batter, leaving a small hole in the center to baste through. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 250 degrees and bake another 3 hours. Baste hourly by pouring stock through the hole in the crust. Cool in the pan and then cover with a damp cloth - this keeps the crust soft. To serve, slice and warm in the oven, or in butter in a frying pan.
