Part 1: How to Make Flaky Jamaican Patty Dough

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

cold butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

baking powder

🥗Healthier: baking soda + vinegar

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Self-rising flour combines flour and leavening.

Weigh out the flour.

Combine the flour with the egg yellow and cold butter using a rubber spatula.

Add water gradually while mixing to form a dough.

Knead the dough gently until it feels right, about 10 minutes of work shown.

Roll out the dough and fold it multiple times to develop flakiness.

Place the rolled dough on a floured surface to prevent sticking.

Check the consistency of the dough; it should not bounce back when pressed.

Taste the dough to ensure the salt and sugar balance is correct, adjusting if necessary.
