Ingredients

Servings:5
  • 2 cups Whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup Brown teff flour
  • 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups Warm water
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and brown teff flour until well combined.

  2. 2

    Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy, then add it to the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Gradually add the remaining 3 cups of water while whisking constantly to ensure a smooth, thin batter with no lumps.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the batter ferment at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours to develop the traditional sour flavor.

  5. 5

    Just before cooking, stir in the baking powder, salt, and lemon juice to the fermented batter to help create the 'eyes' or bubbles.

  6. 6

    Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with a tiny amount of vegetable oil.

  7. 7

    Pour about 1/2 cup of batter in a circular motion starting from the outside of the pan moving inward, then cover with a lid immediately.

  8. 8

    Steam for 1 to 2 minutes until the top is dry and full of small holes; do not flip the bread, simply slide it onto a plate to cool.
