Boil the soaked saltfish in a pot to remove extra salt.

In a bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder, a pinch of yeast, salt, and black pepper.

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms, not too sticky.

Knead the dough lightly until smooth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Cut the onion, garlic, and hot pepper for the saltfish mixture.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and sauté the onion, garlic, hot pepper, and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes.

Add the boiled saltfish to the sautéed vegetables and cook until heated through.

Roll the dough into balls and flatten them out.

Cut the flattened dough into triangles or desired shapes.

Fry the dough pieces in hot vegetable oil until golden brown on both sides.
