Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the masarepa (2 cup) and kosher salt (2 teaspoon). Slowly add the warm water (2 cup), mixing until a soft, moist, non-sticky dough forms. Cover and rest for 8 minutes to absorb liquid.

  3. 3

    Divide dough into 8 balls. Shape each into a 2.5 inch disc, adding more water if needed to prevent cracking.

  4. 4

    Heat olive oil (1 tablespoon) in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry arepas until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.

  5. 5

    Bake for 15 minutes until crisp and firm in the center.

  6. 6

    Serve hot with [vegan butter] or desired fillings. Slice each arepa in half and fill.
