Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

2
Add water and oil

Gradually add the water and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until a soft dough forms.

3
Knead the dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

4
Let the dough rest

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

5
Divide the dough

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

6
Roll out the roti

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin, round roti, about 8 inches in diameter.

7
Preheat the griddle

Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.

8
Cook the roti

Brush the griddle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place a roti on the griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. Repeat with the remaining roti.

9
Keep the roti warm

Wrap the cooked roti in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft until ready to serve.

10
Serve and enjoy

Serve the Trinidadian Roti warm, alongside your favorite curries, stews, or as a delicious accompaniment to any meal. Enjoy the soft, flavorful, and versatile Caribbean flatbread!
