Hardo (hard dough) bread is a Jamaican bread similar to the Pullman loaf or pain de mie, although hard dough bread tends to be sweeter. The dough consists of flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar. Hard dough bread loaves can be pointed or rectangular in shape and can be bought already sliced or unsliced. Most loaves are wrapped in plastic when bought. Hard dough bread is kept in a bread bin just like common English and American bread. Keeping the bread in a dry room temperature place helps to prevent the growth of mold and the bread from going stale. The inner part of the bread is white and soft but also quite filling. The outer layer of the bread is light brown and called the crust.
