Coco Bread/ Carribean special

Coco bread is available on streets of Jamaica and other islands stuffed with fried plantains, patties and jerk spices chicken. It is a very tasty and unusual kind of bread. I will be using it to stuff with other patties in future.

I've actually never had coco bread. eventhough here in NY with lots of Jamaicans in outer boroughs it is sold in pizza shops stuffed with a beef patty inside but always looked so heavy to me never tried and a fried patty inside an APF dough seemed so carb heavy
