Fry Bake & Saltfish | Simply Local

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

saltfish

🥗Healthier: smoked mackerel

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides protein.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and neutral in flavor.

Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder and some butter to the flour, mixing together.

Gradually add lukewarm water while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough for at least 8 minutes until smooth and soft.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 to 25 minutes.

Prepare the saltfish and vegetables by heating soybean oil in a pot over medium heat.

Add garlic, onion, tomatoes, and the saltfish to the pot.

Season with black pepper and mix the ingredients together.

Squeeze lime juice into the mixture for added flavor and mix again.

Roll the rested dough into small balls and let them rest again.

Heat oil in a pot until hot, then drop the dough balls in to fry until golden brown on both sides.
