Agege | Traditional Bread From Lagos, Nigeria | TasteAtlas

Agege

Agege bread is a distinctive type of bread originating from the Agege district in Lagos, Nigeria, that has gained immense popularity throughout the country. Agege bread is known for its soft and stretchy texture. It's slightly sweet, which sets it apart from many other bread types.


The exterior is typically crusty, providing a delightful contrast to the soft interior. The bread is made using basic ingredients like flour, sugar, salt, water, and yeast. However, the specific method of preparation, especially the fermentation process, is why the bread has a unique stretchy texture.


In Lagos and many other parts of Nigeria, you'll often find street vendors selling fresh agege bread, especially in the early mornings and evenings. It's often consumed at breakfast, but it's also versatile enough to be eaten at any time of the day.


Agege bread is commonly paired with spreads, fried eggs, or local stews and soups.
