Roti Naik Johor

·           I know how daunting the thought of baking bread is....Will it rise? Will it be soft and fluffy as Roti Naik should be? Will I have to put everything on hold, just to have a bite of home made bread? There are so many technicalities to bread making that many turn away from even the thought of it! That is the reason why I made a huge of effort and spent many many days, trying to perfect this recipe, so even the most inexperienced cook can make it without failing. My two daughters, 22 years and 14 years old, both can make this traditional Johorean bread entirely on their own, with no help whatsoever from me! Nothing beats Roti Naik Johor, fresh & hot from the oven!
