Liberian Rice Bread

This traditional Liberian bread is the visitor's favorite amongst all the local bread varieties. Country rice is typically beaten in a mortar with a pestle, and it is then sifted to remove the larger pieces. The rice flour is combined with ripe mashed plantains, butter, eggs, baking soda, sugar, salt, water, and grated ginger. After it has been baked, Liberian rice bread is usually consumed as a coffee cake or as regular bread, and it stays nice and moist even after a full week.
