Waiting for a cook
Somalia
Muufo is the Somali flatbread baked on the wall of a tinaar, the clay tandoor sunk in the ground, from a dough of white maize flour. The full name is muufo tinaar; some Somalis call it garmash. It is eaten with stews and with bananas, and at breakfast it is broken into a bowl, sprinkled with sugar, drizzled with ghee or sesame oil and soaked with hot black tea. The Bravanese of the southern coast bake a fermented, risen version they call maanda.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 8 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
