Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine lukewarm water with sugar and instant yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Make Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 2-3 minutes.

Proof Dough: Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover and let it rise for 20-30 minutes until doubled in size.

Shape Bakes: Punch down the dough and divide into golf-ball-sized portions. Flatten each into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.

Heat Oil: In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test oil temperature with a small piece of dough.

Fry Bakes: Add shaped dough circles to hot oil, frying for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Drain Oil: Remove bakes using a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.

Prepare Saltfish: Boil salted cod for 15-20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and flake.

Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a skillet, add onion, bell pepper, garlic, and tomato. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, then add flaked saltfish and cook for 3 more minutes.

Assemble and Serve: Slice open the bakes and fill with saltfish. Serve warm, possibly alongside fresh avocados or fruit.
