Gorraasa is a soft, doughy bread enjoyed in Sudan that tastes like a really thick tortilla. The texture is a bit more spongy, however, and when I pulled mine into pieces, I was delighted to find the slight elasticity at once addicting and good for picking up food.
Ingredients:
250g wholemeal flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
250 to 375ml warm water
2 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Method:
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
Gradually add warm water, mixing until a smooth, thick pancake-like batter is formed.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
Pour in your thick batter, making sure it isn't too thick and covers the base of the pan nicely.
You'll see bubbles forming and once it doesn't stick to the pan, you can flip the flatbread.
Cook each flatbread in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
Set aside in a low oven to keep warm as you cook the next gorassa. Serve hot to accompany stews.
