Sabayad, also called kimis, is a yummy type of flatbread that people enjoy in Somalia and Djibouti. Think of it like a thin, flat piece of bread. It's quite similar to a bread called paratha from India and other nearby countries.
What is Sabayad?
Sabayad is a very popular bread in Somali cuisine. People often eat it for breakfast to start their day or for dinner in the evening. It's a simple but tasty part of many meals.
How is Sabayad Made?
Making sabayad starts with a simple dough. The main ingredients are just plain flour, water, and a little salt. These are mixed together to form a soft dough.
Once the dough is ready, it's rolled out. Bakers usually shape it into rough squares or circles. After shaping, the dough is quickly cooked. It's briefly fried in a pan until it's golden and cooked through. Even though it's similar to paratha, sabayad is made in a special way that is traditional to Somalia.
