Somalian Muufo Flatbread

 original recipe found here

  1. 1 cup cornmeal (precooked, "PAN")
  2. 1 cup plain flour
  3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  4. 2 teaspoons sugar
  5. 1 teaspoon salt
  6. 1 tablespoon of oil, and more for cooking the muufo
  1. In a mixing bowl add cornmeal, plain flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, add just enough water to make a soft dough, add about 2 1/4 cups of warm water, more flour if sticky and more water if too dry. You can use the dough right away or let it rest for 20 minutes to overnight.
  2. Heat a non-stick fry pan on a medium heat.
  3. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces then leave them covered.
  4. Using your hands flatten each piece in to a 4 inch diameter. Use a little bit of water to wet your hand, so the dough won't stick.
  5. Fry each bread until golden brown 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Alternatively use a griddle and brush each Muufo with some oil and turnover when the bread comes of the griddle about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Serve with your favorite stew.
