Gari Bread

As you may know, I am on  solely Ghanaian diet this year  for my fitness goals. And to give me varieties in my meals, I am switching up and creating recipes with mostly Ghanaian ingredients.

This recipe is my first attempt for this high fiber and iron enriched gluten free bread. All ingredients can be sourced locally and you can try frying this recipe in absence of a oven(I haven't tried frying it yet, that would be your challenge in you dare lol).
 I will keep working on this recipe to achieve a very lighter texture and also a vegan possibility.


I personally enjoyed eating the Garri bread with shito, Ghanaian black chili sauce. I also had it with some meko spread on the base, avocado and topped with shrimps. Delicious treat it was. And oh, I even had a hot chocolate dunking situation with the Garri bread and it was near success forget how I used the last dried slices(because it was kept in cloth napkin on the kitchen counter), for some scrumptious snack which is technically a Ghanaian breakfast. Kyibom, Ghanaian omelette was a tasty treat with the last slices of the Garri bread as seen below. 

Will definitely try and and up date this recipe soon. For now enjoy the first recipe test success.
