Trinidadian roti over time
23 of the 25 recipes carry a publication date, from 2008 to 2026. Below: how many pages each year, whether the typical batch changed between the oldest and newest, and the oldest and newest pages themselves.
A date here is the one the page gives for itself: when it was published, or last updated. Sites often refresh an old recipe and its date together, so read these as when the pages went up, not when the recipes were created.
Recipes per year
Dated pages by the year they give.
How the typical batch changed
Not enough dated recipes
Comparing periods takes at least 15 dated recipes in each of two periods, and 23 Trinidadian roti recipes have a usable date: too few to split without the comparison being mostly noise. The chart above shows every one of them.

How the dates are read
Each date is the publication date in the recipe page's own structured data. 2 of the 25 recipes have none, or one without a year (such as “December 3”), and are left out.
2026 is still in progress, so its bar is short for a reason that has nothing to do with baking.
