Bofrot

Bofrot is a famous street dish that is served in a newspaper wrapper. Palm wine is traditionally used in place of yeast, but it's more difficult to get than yeast, so I've used the latter here. These dairy-free Ghanaian beignets may also be loaded with chocolate sauce or strawberry jam for extra flavor—perfect for celebrations and regular eating.

Bofrot is a mildly spicy and sweet yeasted flatbread that is deep fried in oil. Ghana and other African countries produce this African doughnut. This doughnut is often cooked in the morning and served with fermented corn porridge (Koko) as part of a breakfast menu in Ghana. Bofrot or puff puff recipes have varied names depending on where you are on the continent. It's also known as puff puff, Toogbei, Mikate, Mandazi, and beinye in some locations.

This dish goes well with cereal or plant-based milk. Bofrot is served with hot chocolate or fermented millet porridge in Ghana. This bofrot goes well with my Fermented Teff Porridge.
