Let bloom for 5–10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the bloomed yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until dough comes together, then knead until soft and elastic (about 5 minutes). Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and proof until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Punch down the dough, divide into 6 equal pieces, and shape into balls. Roll each into a flat oval, about ¼ inch thick. 🐟 Ackee & Saltfish Filling: Ingredients: ½ lb saltfish (boneless, skinless) 1 cup canned ackee (drained) 1 small onion, sliced ½ green bell pepper, chopped 2 scallions, chopped 2 sprigs thyme 1 ripe plantain, sliced and lightly fried 2 tbsp oil Optional: scotch bonnet for heat Instructions: Boil saltfish for 10–15 mins to remove excess salt. Drain, cool, and flake. In a skillet, heat oil and sauté onion, garlic, scallion, bell pepper, and thyme. Add saltfish and stir for 2–3 minutes. Gently fold in ackee and sauté briefly without breaking it up. Let the filling cool before using. 🧑🏾‍🍳 Assembly & Baking: Add filling and fried plantain slices to rolled-out dough. Fold over, press edges to seal, and use a pastry wheel to crimp. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Optional: cut slits for venting. Brush with melted butter or egg wash. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until golden. Brush with more butter out of the oven for extra softness and shine. Enjoy warm — every bite is pure Jamaican comfort 🇯🇲✨ 🔥 Subscribe for more bold Jamaican & Caribbean recipes from Teika’s Kitchen! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ7YSsNiervG0kS_rJXeqiTk-iZeidvei #TeikasKitchen #AckeeAndSaltfish #CocoBread #JamaicanFood #StuffedLoaf #ComfortFood #CaribbeanRecipes #HomemadeBread
