Questions

How do I know when Roti Bakar is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 3: cook until golden brown and crisp.

What can I use instead of sweetened condensed milk in Roti Bakar?

The entry for Roti Bakar calls for 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk. In its place: There is no quick swap. Simmer two cups of milk with two thirds of a cup of sugar until reduced by half, about 35 minutes.

Can I make Roti Bakar dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Roti Bakar is 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened, 4 tbsp cheddar cheese, shredded, 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk.

The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.
