Plain Arepa

A simple griddle bread from the Caribbean and South America made from masarepa (pre-cooked white cornmeal), water, and salt. Cooked first on a dry griddle then finished in the oven — the result has a crunchy, lightly charred outside and a soft, slightly chewy inside. A foundation recipe used across the region.
