I always experiment with baking and this time I wanted different shaped mandazi rather than the always norm. This method doesn't use eggs nor milk but one can always include if desired

Oh my goodness, I've always wanted to learn how to make the Mandazi, I first tasted them from a lady from Tanzania and I loved them. Thanks for this wonderful recipe it looks great🙌
