Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
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.
Knead the dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
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.
Divide the dough
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Roll out the roti
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin, round roti, about 8 inches in diameter.
Preheat the griddle
Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
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.
Keep the roti warm
Wrap the cooked roti in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft until ready to serve.
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!
