Yaniqueque Bread (Dominican)



Yaniqueque or Yanikeke is a Dominican toasted bread with a crunchy texture. It is made with flour, salt, melted butter and baking powder. The dough is rolled into thin circles with curled edges and then fried in hot oil until golden brown.

Yaniqueques are typically placed on paper towels to expel excess oil. They can be found all over the country, on numerous streets and beaches. It is believed to be a variation of johnny cakes and the dish was brought to the country by Afro-Caribbean immigrants in the 1900s.
