So yesterday after church, a friend of mine who is pregnant asked I make her chapos. We all know how uncomfortable things can get when pg especially with smells... Plus never deny a pregnant woman their cravings. Here is my recipe

Steps

1

In a clean bowl put in your flour. Add salt to your taste (I used 1tbl). Mix well
2

Slowly add the warm water while mixing until it just comes together, not too sticky
3

Add in the oil slowly kneading as you go. You can use more or less depending on the amount of oil you always use. I prefer less since you'll fry them
4

Continue kneading the dough for another 6 minutes or more. At this point I prefer to use a flat surface for kneading. Grease your dough and leave it to rest for at least 15mins, the more the better
5

Take your dough, divide it into two and using a rolling pin and board spread it as much as you can. Apply a very thin layer of oil then cut strips (not too thin) and roll each strip into a ball. Do the same for the other half
6

Roll out each dough ball individually and fry on your preheated pan, shallow fry with oil on each side
7

Serve hot with your favorite stew or tea for breakfast
