Yema Bread Rolls
Tasty bread rolls suitable for any breakfast table.
- 1 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup Milk (heated to a temperature of 105 to 110 F)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and kept warm)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 piece eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Proof the Yeast and Make the Dough
- In a small bowl, combine yeast, powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the warm milk. Stir well and let stand for about 15-20 minutes until foamy and thick.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and measure out 5 tablespoons. Reserve the remaining beaten eggs to make the yema.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar and the 5 tablespoons of eggs. Stir until sugar is incorporated.
- Add the remaining warm milk, the yeast, and 1/4 cup of the flour. Stir mixture until smooth and let stand briefly for about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine the remaining flour and salt and add to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon for 7 minutes or until it has gathered into a smooth and shiny dough. This dough will be very sticky. Do not add any flour.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the warm, melted butter and using your hands, mix the butter into the dough. Mix for about 5 minutes, incorporating the butter into the dough until it is soft, smooth and very shiny.
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl and let rise for 1 and 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
- Knead the dough briefly just to deflate. Place it back in the bowl and chill in the fridge for one hour.
Make the Yema filling:
- In a saucepan over medium, combine potato and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until very tender.

Eggless Nigerian Pancakes
ORDER your Nigerian food ingredients online today – UK only.
Eggless Nigerian Pancakes
Eggless Nigerian Pancakes are egg-free, light and fluffy pancakes.
- 1/2 cups Premium whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cups White all purpose flour
- 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 tsp Ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cups Milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup Ripe banana (mashed/pureed)
- 1 portion Vegetable oil or cooking spray (for frying)
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Preparation
- Combine the dry ingredients together; flour, sugar, salt, pepper, nutmeg. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Cut up the butter into tiny little pieces or melt it by microwaving for 8 secs.
- Add the milk to the dry ingredients, a little at a time and stir in gradually to avoid lumps.
- Chop the banana into little bits, or use a blender or food processor.
- Add in the chopped banana and the melted butter/butter chunks. Combine thoroughly. Keep in mind the butter will melt in when frying so don’t try to make the butter chunks all disappear. Along with the banana, you are likely to have a lot of chunks in your batter, don’t worry about it. If you have a hand mixer, use it like I did.
Instructions
- Take a tablespoon of oil and add to your pan on medium heat. Spread the oil over the pan evenly. The oil is mostly to prevent sticking, so you need very little oil.
Note: You can also use just a non stick spray to reduce the amount of oil used, which is what I did in this illustration. - See further instructions: NaijaChef
