Essential Fried Bake Recipe by Chef Shaun 🇹🇹 Foodie Nation

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a tropical flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while adding a nutty taste.

Sift the flour into a bowl.

Add salt, brown sugar, and baking powder to the flour and mix well.

Incorporate unsalted butter into the flour mixture using fingers until evenly distributed.

Make a hole in the middle of the mixture and gradually add water while mixing with an index finger.

Knead the dough for about 2 to 3 minutes until it forms a soft, slightly tacky ball.

Cover the dough with a warm damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 to 45 minutes.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions using a scale to measure each piece.

Shape each portion into a round ball by tucking the sides underneath.

Roll out each ball with a rolling pin to flatten them slightly.

Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep skillet.

Carefully place the flattened dough into the hot oil, splashing oil on top to help it swell while frying.

Fry until golden brown, flipping occasionally, and remove when air bubbles decrease significantly.

Drain excess oil on paper towels.
