Dominica mastiff bread Recipe

This recipe for Dominica mastiff bread yields a hearty loaf, starting with a simple dough of flour, sugar, salt, and shortening. You can choose between instant or active yeast for the leavening, which slightly changes the initial mixing process. The bread requires two rounds of kneading and two rises, resulting in a good crumb and a golden crust. It's a straightforward bread-making process that takes a few hours from start to finish, with much of that time hands-off while the dough rests.
