Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup teff flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups warm water, stirring to create a smooth, slightly thin batter. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour to slightly ferment.
  2. Step 2: Just before cooking, stir 1/2 tsp baking soda into the batter to help leaven and create the characteristic injera holes.
  3. Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Pour about 1/3 cup batter into the pan and immediately swirl to cover the surface in a thin layer. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until holes appear on top and the edges lift away from the pan.
  4. Step 4: Carefully remove the injera with a spatula and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking the flatbreads. Serve warm as a base for stews or dips.
