Every now and then, we get a comment about how we should only post recipes that are Somali. Well, we have good news for you. These Italian graffe are Somali. They are like Somali pasta and they say home to us. They remind us of Bar Azan in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The graffe at Bar Azan were always filled with pastry cream and they were absolutely delicious! Everything in that pastry shop was exceptionally good. The pastry shop belonged to the owner of Azan Bakery, and they also owned an acclaimed Italian restaurant.
These donuts are amazingly tender due to the mashed potatoes that are added to the dough, and they are unlike any other donut we tasted.

Tap a step to mark it done.
Steps for preparing the Graffe Mix the lukewarm milk, yeast and the teaspoon of sugar. Let the yeast activate for 10 minutes.
Combine all the dry ingredients and then add the rest of the ingredients.
Mix everything and knead well for 3 minutes.
Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/2″ (1.25 cm) thickness.
Cut into the size you prefer, then cover and let rise for another 1/2 hour.
Fry in canola or vegetable oil using medium heat for 1 minute (30 seconds on each side).
Fill with pastry cream or jam.
Roll them in white granulated sugar. They are also great without the cream filling. Enjoy!

Graffe are best served fresh. However, you can prepare the cream the day before and refrigerate it.
Abaayo, waxaan Rabay in aad markad wax suubineysaan hadad awoodan in aad ku qortaan inta qof loogu tala galay. Like this dish is for 4 person or 8 person. Or when you making qumbo or bread, how many bread it will be.
Thank you very much.
