This healthier Roti Bakar uses wholegrain bread, which provides dietary fiber for better digestion and longer satiety. Light butter reduces saturated fat content, and opting for no-added-sugar strawberry jam helps control sugar intake. The addition of fresh strawberries contributes vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals, making this dish a balanced choice for energy, gut health, and immune support. Using olive oil spray instead of butter for toasting further lowers the calorie and fat content.
