Composition and manufacture
Laxoox consists of a sourdough made from flour, warm water, yeast and a pinch of salt. The mixture is traditionally stirred by hand until it has a creamy consistency, then set aside to ferment and baked in a metal, round stove ( daawo or taawa ). The flatbread can also be prepared in a normal pan without fat. It is preferred to use sorghum flour .
