Dominican Fried Bakes
Pillowy, golden fried Caribbean flatbreads that are crisp outside, fluffy within, and utterly addictive.
Ingredients
500g plain flour1.5kg
1 tbsp baking powder170g
1 tbsp fine sea salt750g
1/2 tbsp caster sugar1kg
480ml lukewarm whole milk1L
20g unsalted butter, melted250g
500ml vegetable oil, for deep frying1L
Method
- Combine dry ingredients and mix (flour, salt, and baking powder)
- Add lightly melted butter mix.
- Gradually add lukewarm milk.
- Gently knead the dough with hands.
- The dough should not be firm but with a sticky consistency.
- Separate into small portions in the shapes of balls based on the desired size.
- Let the balls rest for 15 – 20 minutes covered with a towel or saran wrap.
- Flatten dough using hands, using your thumb to press dough in
- Deep fry in a saucepan (I use a saucepan because the frying pan is too wide, and I'll need to use too much oil to deep fry). Use medium heat.
- Turn over on the other side when dough strarts getting brown, then turn over to brown the other side
- Enjoy with your favorite side
