Are you ready to learn the secret to making the perfect chimodo? Look no further because I have the ultimate step-by-step guide for creating this mouth-watering mupotohayi recipe on your own website blog. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic baking skills, you'll be able to impress your friends and family with this traditional Zimbabwean treat.


Ingredients:


- 3 cups of all-purpose flour


- 1/4 cup of sugar


- 1 teaspoon of baking powder


- 1/2 teaspoon of salt


- 1/4 cup of butter


- 1 egg, beaten


- 1 cup of warm milk


- 1/2 cup of roasted peanuts, chopped


Instructions :


Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray.


Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.


Step 3: Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.


Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and warm milk. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.


Step 5: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.


Step 6: Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts evenly over the dough.


Step 7: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough up tightly like a Swiss roll. Pinch the ends to seal and place the roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.


Step 8: Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts on the top of the roll, about 1 inch apart, to create the traditional chimodo shape.


Step 9: Bake the mupotohayi in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.


Step 10: Let the chimodo cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this delicious treat with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect afternoon snack.
