Muufo is a wonderful traditional flatbread that is made in Somalia.
In Somalia muufo is baked traditionally in a special clay oven called tinaar that is heated by charcoal. It is flattened and stuck on the walls of the tinaar. No oil is ever used. You can also use a frying pan or a grill. Once the muufo is cooked on one side, the pan is flipped over to cook the other side directly over the gas flames. The result is an equally delicious flatbread but it is best made with the charcoal cooked tinaar which gives the muufo a unique smoky flavour.
Muufo is made with a fine semolina. Semolina is made from durum wheat however it has a texture similar to maize flour which can also be used. It has a crusty texture on the outside then soft on the inside. It is best served with yogurt
