Injera (Ethiopian Flat Bread)

 

1 3/4 c flour

1/2 c self-rising flour

1/4 c whole wheat Flour

1 pk dry yeast

2 1/2 c water

1/2 ts baking soda

1/2 ts salt

 

Combine the flours and yeast in a ceramic or glass bowl. Add the warm water and

mix into a fairly thin, smooth batter. Let the mixture sit for three full days

at room temperature. Stir the mixture once a day. It will bubble and rise. When

you are ready to make the injera, add the baking soda and salt and let the

batter sit for 10-15 minutes. Heat a small, nonstick 9-inch skillet. When a drop

of water bounces on the pan's surface, take about 1/3 cup of the batter and pour

it in the skillet quickly, all at once.

 

Swirl the pan so that the entire bottom is evenly coated, then return to heat.

The injera is cooked only on one side and the bottom should not brown. When the

moisture has evaporated and lots of " eyes " appear on the surface, remove the

injera. Let each injera cool and then stack them as you go along. If the first

injera is undercooked, try using less of the mixture, perhaps 1/4 cup, and maybe

cook it a bit longer. Be sure not to overcook it. Injera should be soft and

pliable so that it can be rolled or folded, like a crepe.
