📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Muufo is a flatbread eaten in the farming villages of southern Somalia: dough of cornmeal, wheat flour, or sorghum flour is fermented and slapped onto the inside of a clay oven or cooked on a griddle. Slightly sour and simple in flavor, it's served with soup, stew, or suqaar, or with tea for breakfast.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a morning in a southern Somali village, round flatbreads stuck to the inside of a clay oven bake to a toasty finish and are set out for the family's breakfast.
