Tapalapa

Tapalapa is a traditional bread, also very popular in Guinea. It is made with a mixture of millet and wheat flour with the addition of maize flour, cowpea flour, yeast, salt, and water. Visually, it looks somewhat similar to the French baguette on the exterior, but on the inside, it is much more dense and heavy, and its flavor is reminiscent of pretzels. The bread is typically bought for breakfast, and people like to pair it with jam, butter, or eggs.
