Method to prepare Guyanese Oil Roti Recipe:

• In a large bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar, yeast, salt and oil.
• Slowly add warm water and make soft dough.
• Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• After the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equally sized balls.
• In a bowl, add oil and butter and microwave until butter is melted.
• Now sightly dust your work surface and roll each ball with rolling pin into a larger circle.
• Spread the ghee and oil mixture over the roti and sprinkle dry flour.
• Cut a slit from the centre of the circle and fold dough on the corner as shown in the video.
• Now roll and make cone, press slightly and set aside. Repeat with the remaining balls.
• Cover and give rest for 30 minutes.
• Now roll down each ball and cook on hot skillet or pan, you need to cook the roti for a few seconds.
• Heat a weighty base griddle or tawa over medium intensity.
• Cook for around 20-30 seconds until you see little air pockets structure on the top surface. Brush the outer layer of the roti with oil.
• Cautiously flip over to cook the opposite side for around 30 seconds more, brushing more oil on a superficial level. Flip once more and cook the side until the roti is a light-brilliant variety (30 seconds).

Note:

• To keep the roti delicate, you need to “applaud” it: a basic method for doing this is by putting it in a covered bowl and shake it to assist with delivering the air pockets while it’s actually warm., until you see the layers begin to frame.
• Keep the cooked roti in a  kitchen towel until prepared to serve.
