Guyanese Bara | recipe

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: corn flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

yeast

🥗Healthier: baking powder

💰Cheaper: sourdough starter

Baking powder can simplify the leavening process.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil provides healthy fats.

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit until foamy.

Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture and knead until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide it into small balls.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry each disc until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with chutney or curry.
