Injera

Cultural Context

Injera is a staple of Ethiopian cuisine, traditionally made from teff flour, a gluten-free grain. It serves as both a plate and a utensil, with various stews served on top, allowing diners to tear off pieces to scoop up the food. This communal style of eating fosters togetherness and is central to Ethiopian culture. Today, injera is enjoyed globally, often paired with diverse dishes beyond its traditional roots.

6 servings
Servings4
4 cups water (945 grams)
1 cup teff flour (160 grams)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (230 grams)
2 cups sourdough starter (250 grams)
1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 tablespoon organic non-GMO corn starch
1

Measure 4 cups of water (945 grams) using a scale and an empty pitcher.

2

Add 1 cup of teff flour (160 grams) to the water and blend on low speed.

3

Scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all teff is incorporated.

4

Blend vigorously for about a minute until the mixture is smooth and no longer grainy.

5

Add 1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour (230 grams) to the mixture and blend until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.

6

Add 2 cups of sourdough starter (250 grams) to the mixture and blend briefly.

7

Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 tablespoon of organic non-GMO corn starch to the mixture and blend again, scraping down the sides.

8

Let the batter (called leet) rest for 15 minutes before cooking.

9

Heat a non-stick pan on high until water sizzles on it, indicating it's ready.

10

Pour the leet into the center of the pan and rotate to spread it evenly.

11

Cover the pan to prevent the injera from drying out as it cooks.

12

Check for condensation on the lid and ensure it doesn't drip onto the injera.

13

Look for the edges of the injera to curl up, indicating it's ready to be moved.

14

Transfer the cooked injera to a surface with a clean cloth.

15

Repeat the process to make additional injera, adjusting thickness as desired.
