On her 25th birthday, Sierra hopes for a quiet celebration until her two larger-than-life aunties show up uninvited, each determined to prove their bread reigns supreme. A chaotic battle ignites between Navajo Frybread and Bengali Roti, forcing Sierra into the center of a cultural showdown she never asked for.
As dough flies and old rivalries rise, Sierra must knead her way through family, tradition, and her own biracial identity to find dough-mestic harmony between the two sides of her culture. In the heat of the kitchen, she discovers that belonging isn’t about choosing one culture over the other – it’s about creating something entirely her own.
Legend of Fry-Roti: Rise of the Dough is a heartwarming comedy about auntie drama, culinary pride, and the messy, beautiful process of making your own recipe for belonging.
