How To Make Fried Bake | Foodie Nation

Chef Jason teaches Kezzianne how to make Fried Bakes, a staple in Trinbagonian breakfast and street cuisine:
Yield: 18 Bakes
INGREDIENTS
4 Cups of All Purpose Flour
1 ¼ Tbsp of Baking Powder
2 ½ Tsp Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Yeast
2 Tbsp of Butter (Room Temperature)
1 ½ - 2 Cups of Water
3 Cups of Coconut Oil
METHOD
1. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using your hands mix well ensuring all ingredients are dispersed evenly. Add yeast separately and also disperse evenly.
2. Add butter and using your finger tips - rub the butter into the flour and mix well. Then slowly add water a little at a time while mixing with your hand ensuring flour absorbs the water.
3. The dough will start to pull together and be grainy in texture. At this point is when you lightly dust your counter with flour and place your dough on it and start to knead for 3 to 4 minutes until homogenous.
4. Dough should be placed back in bowl and covered with a tea towel and let sit for 10 minutes to relax.
5. Flour your counter top loosely and portion dough into golf size balls (loys) and roll gently with the cusp of your hands to form a nice smooth finish. Cover with tea towel again and let sit for 10 minutes.
6. Place your oil into a frying pan over medium heat and meanwhile, take your dough balls and flatten them gently with a rolling pin to the desired circular size about ¼ inch thick.
7. Place bakes into the hot oil one at a time and using a solid pot spoon, base the top of the bakes by pouring hot oil over.
8. Flip over immediately after and this will assist the bake in rising and swelling.
9. Remove from heat and place on paper napkins or brown paper to absorb additional oil.
10. Cut bakes open and enjoy with butter, cheese or even corned beef, saltfish buljol, fried ochro and plantains etc.

Good recipe. First time making fried bake. They came out great. My background is Jamaican. I gave some to my mom and she was impressed. "How did you get the inside hollow?", she asked. "And it was not greasy at all"... delicious. I stuffed it with braised oxtail, sweet friend plantain and creamy coleslaw.

[@sunburn1013]

Oh my goodness - that sounds delicious

[@arlenejohnson302]

Hi I live in Ohio and I have no access to Trinidadian restaurants so I rely heavily on your channel. I made fry bakes this morning as requested by my American husband. Thank you for making me look good Chef and Kezzy🥰

I live in Ohio too :) just saying

[@trinioman]

Arlene. Which part of Ohio are you?

[@trinioman]

I live in Ohio and there are ppl who make trini food. They just opened up a little Trini restaurant close to Cinci

[@lisabroyles9665]

There was a Trini lady in Youngstown that opened a Caribbean restaurant with occasional live music a few years ago. I have only been there a few times but I think it is still around.

[@loismoore2931]

I live in Ohio too . I did not know there was a T+ T restaurant .. . Fry bakes and herring was a staple every Saturday morning :) . Attempting this tomorrow , wish I had some herring lol 😂

[@tahrinahope9556]

Omg love fry bake! Everytime I visit Trini it was a must almost EVERY morning, my mom would work her magic (apart from the sugar). Great vid!

[@nadda7140]

Sr DeSilva this is an Indian dish... just like roti

[@kbjones8713]

Nad DA no this isn’t an “Indian Dish.” Indians have many varieties of rotis and this isn’t one of them. This fried bread or bakes ORIGINATED in Africa.

[@nadda7140]

KBJones it’s called puri in India

[@kat-oe7gb]

@Amy Zane it is similar to Fried Dumpling just lighter not so doughy and tight like Jamaican Fried Dumpling. Born and raised on the JA style though when my mom made it growing up it was smaller, these Jamaican restaurants in The Bronx, make these huge baseball size dumpling that can knock you out.

Oh Jimmy, boy you got me mouth watering. You reminded me that coconut rice was the last dish I cooked when I was in secondary school. After school I went down the bay and I was lucky because the guys had just hauled in a net of jacks. In there was some ballahoo (sorry I don’t know the spelling) mixed in. I got a few of them and went home, cooked up some brown rice with freshly grated coconut milk, cause you know we still only do fresh coconut. Mixed in the fish seasoned with my mom’s green seasoning. Gosh I can still smell that pot!
