About Eswatini steamed maize bread
This steamed maize bread is documented among commonly consumed foods in Eswatini. Fresh maize forms the base with self-raising flour, white sugar, margarine and salt; additional baking powder is optional.
The maize gives the bread its corn flavour, with sugar adding sweetness and margarine enriching the dough. The recipe keeps the seasoning simple.
Individual portions are wrapped in inner maize husks for steaming above reserved cobs. The finished bread is a soft steamed dough preparation, and the publisher specifies warm or cold service.
