Steps

1

Boil plantain(seasoned with salt) and mash into a puree,you may include some food coloring using the toothpick method to create a zigzag and set aside.
2

For the dough,add all the wrap ingredients and mix except the egg and milk,when balanced pour in the milk to form a soft dough using the milk(egg aside)
3

Keep kneading until you form a very smooth dough and leave to rest for 30 mins after which you press out excess air from the dough.
4

Roll out dough and enclose plantain puree in whichever method you desire,be creative.I used the braiding method,came out reeeal good.(you can also decide to let it rest before the next step)
5

Egg wash and bake on medium heat.
6

Garnish and serve😋You can decide to use the meat pie and sausage roll method to enclose your puree,just be creative and say hellooo to awesomeness😍😍😍
