Ethiopian Enjera/Injera
Ethiopian Bread/Flat bread Made from Teff
A Simple and Easy to Use Recipe for Ethioipian Bread
Traditional Ethiopian food is famous for hot spicy food served on top of soft pancake-like bread called injera, which is a form of Ethiopian bread.
True injera is made from a very nutritious grain called teff.
Unfortunately, it is hard to make the perfect Injera at the first attempt.
There are a number of different recipes to make injera and none have a solid formula.
A number of factors can alter the quality of injera such as the temperature of the grill, the type of grill (mitad), the temperature of the dough during fermentation, quality of the flour, ways of mixing the dough, etc.
The Ethiopian bread needs care when it is being made.
