Today I am sharing you how to make cenai bread from scratch. They are pretty easy to make, I promise you, but it can be seen as a little time consuming for beginners. But final result is so satisfying that I am sure you would want to make them again!
In Indonesia, this bread is known as Roti Maryam and it is often served with Rendang, the famous spicy Indonesian curry. Some Indonesians would also serve cenai bread with sweet dipping or topping. So yeah, they are good for savory dishes and sweet snack. They are even good to serve as is!
Now let me show you how I made them 😀
