This month’s Bread Bakers theme was griddle breads. After going through my cookbooks, I decided to try Diphaphata from Extending the Table. It’s a traditional bread from Botswana, and although numerous sources online claim they are similar to English muffins, I found them to be more like a quick biscuit.
They are dense and chewy on the inside, which means they are extremely filling when spread with peanut butter. Another excellent use for them would be biscuits and gravy. One word of warning though, they are best when eaten the same day. I halved the recipe and it turned out fine.

February 9, 2016 at 3:21 pmIt does look like a perfectly delicious biscuit. I am sure they would be delicious with a drizzle of honey too.

February 10, 2016 at 12:22 amThese are so interesting! Since there’s no yeast, they can’t really be compared to an English muffin, but more like a biscuit as you said. Thanks for finding a bread from Botswana!

February 15, 2016 at 11:04 amI’m with you–these sound more like biscuits than English muffins (although they do look similar). I love biscuits and gravy, so that seems like a perfect application!
