- In a large saucepan heat tomato sauce and sofrito until aromatic. Add beans, water, potatoes, salt, and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook on low until potatoes are soft and mixture has thickened slightly. Serve with rice or domplines (puerto rican fry bread)
- Mix all ingredients except for water (and frying oil) in a medium bowl. Gradually mix in water until mixture comes together (you may need slightly more or less water). Mix until all flour is incorporated, then roll into two "logs". Cover with a damp paper towel and let rest ~5 minutes.
- While dough is resting begin heating up the canola oil in a large fry pan over medium high heat. The oil does not need to be too deep (maybe 1/2 inch).
- Cut the dough into about 16 pieces. Roll each piece out very thin with a rolling pin.
- When the oil is very hot (but not smoking) add the rolled pieces of dough. The oil should sizzle immediately and the dough should start to bubble up. If this doesn't happen the oil is likely not yet hot enough.
- Fry on each side for 30 seconds to one minute until the fry bread is golden brown.
- Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels. Serve Immediately with puerto rican beans.
