To develop this recipe for the fluffiest, most pillowy Buss Up Shut, Ramin Ganeshram took a deep dive into the version she’d included in her cookbook, Sweet Hands: Island Cooking from Trinidad & Tobago. This new recipe, she writes, “is the result of years of trial and (mostly) error, a lot of food science, and a good dose of frustration, followed by even more practice.”

Ganeshram offers a few essential tips for making really great roti. First: Use a gentle hand when kneading the dough. Second: Be sure to rest the dough, so the gluten strands relax. In this recipe, she also adds milk powder to the flour, which makes the flatbread soft and tender.
