Bread (Fried) - Yeasted Bread (Mkatra Foutra) - Comoros 🇰🇲

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

¼ cup warm water
1 tbsp sugar

1 cup wholewheat flour
1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
A pinch of salt
1 tsp instant coffee granules (optional)
Butter/ oil to pan cook
Sesame seeds as needed

Combine the yeast, water and sugar and mix well. Allow to froth for 5 minutes. Add in the remaining ingredients and fold well till all the flour is moist. The batter will thick - neither like cake nor like dough. Set aside covered for an hour till the batter doubles. Heat your pan and spread some oil/ butter. Scoop out the thick dough and plop onto the surface. Flatten to shape with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on the top and press. Cook for two minutes and then flip. Cook the other side on low flame for around 5 minutes till done. Keep warm till the time of serving. Makes 6 breads.
