Ethiopian Flat Bread (Injera) image

Not an authentic recipe as it misses out the Teff flour. I made this version as I cannot find Teff anywhere!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h40m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups warm water

Steps:

  • Mix everything together to form a batter.
  • Let set in large bowl, covered, an hour or longer, until batter rises and becomes stretchy.
  • It can sit as long as 3-6 hours.
  • When ready, stir batter if liquid has settled on bottom.
  • Then whip in blender, 2 cups of batter at a time, thinning it with 1/2 - 3/4 cup water.
  • Batter will be quite thin.
  • Cook in non-stick frypan WITHOUT OIL (is that a great instruction or what?) over medium or medium-high heat.
  • Use 1/2 cup batter per injera for a 12-inch pan or 1/3 cup batter for a 10-inch pan.
  • Pour batter in heated pan and quickly swirl pan to spread batter as thin as possible.
  • Batter should be no thicker than 1/8-inch.
  • Do not turn over.
  • Injera does not easily stick or burn.
  • It is cooked through when bubbles appear all over the top.
  • Lay each injera on a clean towel for a minute or two, then stack in covered dish to keep warm.
  • Finished injera will be thicker than a crepe, but thinner than a pancake.

I'm disappointed with this recipe. The injera didn't turn out at all.

I don't recommend this recipe. The injera was bland and tasteless.

This recipe is too complicated. I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my injera turned out dense and rubbery. I'll have to try again.

I'm not a big fan of injera, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. The injera was light and fluffy, and the flavor was mild and not overpowering.

Followed the recipe exactly and the injera turned out perfectly! It was so good that I ate two pieces before I even got to the main course.

Made this for dinner last night and it was a hit! The injera was soft and spongy, and the combination of flavors from the spices and flours was amazing. Will definitely be making this again.
