In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Add room temperature butter to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Incorporate the ripe breadfruit into the flour mixture.

Gradually add lukewarm water to bring the dough together, kneading until smooth.

Let the dough rise in the bowl for about 30 minutes.

Soak the snapper saltfish for 6-7 hours, changing the water a few times.

Steam the saltfish with a little vinegar for 10 minutes to remove excess salt and fishy smell.

Add chopped onions, celery, scallions, cilantro, and thyme to the fried saltfish and mix well.

Add a little lemon juice to the saltfish mixture and let it fry until combined.
