=====Soft and Layered Chapatis=====

[https://www.google.com/search?q=Chapati&oq=african+breads&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyDggAEEUYFBg5GIcCGIAEMg4IARAAGAoYCxixAxiABDILCAIQABgKGAsYgAQyDggDEAAYChgLGLEDGIAEMgsIBBAAGAoYCxiABDILCAUQABgKGAsYgAQyCwgGEAAYChgLGIAEMgYIBxBFGDzSAQg2NjM5ajBqNKgCAbACAfEF7t65Adfcjsg&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&ved=2ahUKEwiMxsKi58KSAxWwOzQIHaKwBXoQgK4QegYIAQgBEAc by google]

Chapatis or ‘chapos’ as we call them in our part of the world – the awesome part of the world, are a perfect partner to stews and curries as well as grilled meats. They’re great for breakfast – fry an egg, add grated carrots, sliced onions, peppers and wrap in a chapati – The Ugandans call this a ‘Rolex” LOVE IT! So if you make chapatis and by chance some are left, you know what to make the next day 😉

Now a few tips, from my humble experience. Vegetable oil, ghee and crisco work well in this recipe – i have tried olive oil so if you do, let me know how that goes. I had once had this bright idea to try using butter and lets just say…we ate frisbees that night! So don’t try to use butter.

The water you use should be warm

=====Sabaayad=====

[https://www.google.com/search?q=Sabaayad&oq=african+breads&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyDggAEEUYFBg5GIcCGIAEMg4IARAAGAoYCxixAxiABDILCAIQABgKGAsYgAQyDggDEAAYChgLGLEDGIAEMgsIBBAAGAoYCxiABDILCAUQABgKGAsYgAQyCwgGEAAYChgLGIAEMgYIBxBFGDzSAQg2NjM5ajBqNKgCAbACAfEF7t65Adfcjsg&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&ved=2ahUKEwiMxsKi58KSAxWwOzQIHaKwBXoQgK4QegYIAQgBEAk by google]

Sabaayad (also known as kimis, ceesh, or Somali chapati) is a traditional Somali, slightly sweet, and unleavened flatbread that is a staple in Somali, Djiboutian, Ethiopian, and Kenyan cuisine. It is characterized by a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a soft, flaky, and layered interior, similar to a paratha.

=====Puff Puff=====

[https://www.thekitchn.com/puff-puff-recipe-23214757 by the kitchen]

Many countries around the world have their own version of fried dough. In Nigeria, it’s puff puff, a yeast-based fried dough that, as its name suggests, puffs up as it fries. The golden, bite-sized spheres have a soft, fluffy interior and a slightly crisp exterior. They’re a popular street food, as well as one of our staple small chops, or finger foods. At many parties, you’ll be served a variety of small chops like puff puff, samosas, and spring rolls to give you something to snack on.

Making puff puff dough couldn’t be simpler: It’s just water, flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and, most importantly, nutmeg. I love the nutmeg in the dough; its rich, warm flavor comes through in every bite. The fritters are a bit sweet but not sugary, meaning they can be served any number of ways — with pepper sauce or chili oil for a savory snack, or sprinkled with powdered sugar or rolled in cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat. My favorite way to eat them is plain and piping-hot.

+ Chapatis or ‘chapos’ as we call them in our part of the world – the awesome part of the world, are a perfect partner to stews and curries as well as grilled meats. They’re great for breakfast – fry an egg, add grated carrots, sliced onions, peppers and wrap in a chapati – The Ugandans call this a ‘Rolex” LOVE IT! So if you make chapatis and by chance some are left, you know what to make the next day 😉
+Now a few tips, from my humble experience. Vegetable oil, ghee and crisco work well in this recipe – i have tried olive oil so if you do, let me know how that goes. I had once had this bright idea to try using butter and lets just say…we ate frisbees that night! So don’t try to use butter.
+The water you use should be warm

+ Sabaayad (also known as kimis, ceesh, or Somali chapati) is a traditional Somali, slightly sweet, and unleavened flatbread that is a staple in Somali, Djiboutian, Ethiopian, and Kenyan cuisine. It is characterized by a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a soft, flaky, and layered interior, similar to a paratha.
+=====Puff Puff=====
+[https://www.thekitchn.com/puff-puff-recipe-23214757 by the kitchen]
+ Many countries around the world have their own version of fried dough. In Nigeria, it’s puff puff, a yeast-based fried dough that, as its name suggests, puffs up as it fries. The golden, bite-sized spheres have a soft, fluffy interior and a slightly crisp exterior. They’re a popular street food, as well as one of our staple small chops, or finger foods. At many parties, you’ll be served a variety of small chops like puff puff, samosas, and spring rolls to give you something to snack on.
+Making puff puff dough couldn’t be simpler: It’s just water, flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and, most importantly, nutmeg. I love the nutmeg in the dough; its rich, warm flavor comes through in every bite. The fritters are a bit sweet but not sugary, meaning they can be served any number of ways — with pepper sauce or chili oil for a savory snack, or sprinkled with powdered sugar or rolled in cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat. My favorite way to eat them is plain and piping-hot.
