Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Jamaican fry roti.

Measure 4 cups of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix well.

Create a well in the flour mixture and gradually add 2.5 cups of room temperature water in portions, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth, then add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and knead it into the dough.

Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a wet napkin, letting it rest for 15 to 30 minutes.

After resting, remove the napkin and knead the dough again briefly.

Dust a clean surface and divide the dough into 9 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.

Dust the rolled balls with flour and cover them to prevent drying out.

Roll out each ball into a flat disc, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolled roti into the skillet.

Cook the roti until bubbles form, then flip it over to achieve a golden color on both sides.

Repeat the cooking process for all 9 rotis, ensuring they are golden and cooked through.
