Chimodho

This baked Chimodho is a famous dish in Zimbabwe. It is a particular favorite for many people, loaded with childhood memories. It is often made with flour, a little maize wheat blended with sugar and salt. Sometimes the butter can be thrown into the mix as well if you have enough money to buy it.

This dough then should be put in a pan that has been lined with charcoal. The bread will swell to develop a delectable brown crust on the top, and a massive crack in the center.
