Johnny Bread – a national favourite!

Oct 2, 2013

Every Bermudian household has their own recipe for Johnny Bread but Chef Daamian’s is a sure-fire winner in our book. Johnny Bread is yeastless so it can be quickly prepared to serve alongside a breakfast of bacon and eggs or a bowl of hot soup or chili.

Here, Chef Daamian cooks the dough in a hot skillet until it is puffed slightly and golden brown, and then dusts the Johnny Bread with powdered sugar and serves with sliced fresh strawberries. Simply Delicious!

Recipe from Chef Daamian, Ocean Echo Restaurant at the Reefs

Gosling’s Wine of the Week

GREG NORMAN SANTA BARBARA PINOT NOIR 2010
Gosling’s have paired Chef Daamian’s recipe of Johnny Bread with Greg Norman Santa Barbara Pinot Noir 2010 . The wine has lifted aromas of strawberry, black cherry and subtle earthy notes of crushed bay leaves, leading to a flavourful fruit forward palate. The juicy palate is highlighted by vanilla notes and a touch of cardamom. This well balanced wine is smooth and offers a bright acidity and a lingering finish.

The retail price is $23.50 and is available at Lindo’s and Gosling’s stores.
