Injera Bread

Cultural Context

Injera is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine, traditionally made from teff flour and water, fermented to create a unique sourdough flavor. This flatbread serves as both a plate and utensil, used to scoop up stews and salads. Its communal nature fosters sharing and togetherness during meals. Today, injera is enjoyed beyond Ethiopia, with variations appearing in various global cuisines, celebrating its versatility and cultural significance.
