Make injera (Ethiopian flat bread) From: http://ethiopiafood.org/yedagussa-in...b-east-africa/ Tools: large pancake pan deep mixing bowl Component: 1 1/2 Ibs. millet flour 1 pkt. yeast 6 cups water How to prepare Yedagussa Injera - Bread made from millet Mix millet flour by hand in 2-3 cups water making apparent the mixture is not as well liquid. Add 1 pkt of yeast and mix well. Cover and let stand till mixture springs up. Preheat pancake pan at 420. Take 3/4 cup of the mixture and pour into the pan steadily beginning at the edge, going clockwise in circles and coming to the center. Let it stand for 3-4 minutes. When prepared the rim of the millet injera will growth from the pan. Remove instantly and place on a clean cloth to cool. Millet injera can be covered and stored in cool place or refrigerated for about 2-3 days. Makes 6-8 servings. Or make roti: http://www.indiacurry.com/bread/rotibajra.htm (Note: a Pakistani acquaintance of mine used to make these, but she let the dough sit covered in the fridge overnight.) Ingredients 1. Pearl Millet Flour (Bajra Atta): 2 Cups 2. Salt: 1/4 teaspoon 3. Warm water (near 115ºF): 1 1/4 Cup 4. Melted Ghee for basting: Optional Method Dough 1. Mix salt and Millet flour. Make a mound. With a finger, make a well in the flour mound. Add warm water and start mixing dough and knead. If the dough is too sticky, add 1 Table spoon of flour. If the dough is too hard, add up to one Tablespoon of water (one teaspoon at a time) to get the right consistency. 2. Gather dough in to a ball. Cover with damp kitchen towel or a plastic film. Let it rest 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature. Rolling dough We need to make a 6" diameter cookie about the about the thickness of a Nickel (5¢ coin) to bake each bread. The lack of gluten makes it very difficult to roll out dough. Traditionally, the dough is rolled out by hand without a rolling pin. For convenience I will use rolling pin in conjunction with two pieces of Parchment / wax paper. 1. Pinch dough to form it into a ball 2. Put down one wax paper. Baste the wax paper with melted Ghee or oil. 3. Put the dough ball on the greased wax paper. Try to spread out patty as much as you like by hand. 4. Grease and put the second wax paper on top of the patty. 5. Use a rolling pin to roll out dough to form the round cookie of desired diameter. 6. Slowly peel-off the top sheet of wax paper. The exposed surface is skin surface. 7. Lift the dough cookie with the bottom paper intact . Transfer the cookie on to hot griddle with skin surface down. 8. Slowly peel off the wax paper. Bake the bread, repeat for the remaining dough. |

Add this to above dry ingredients, stirring only enough to combine them. (Add extra skim milk if needed to moisten more.) 3. Let batter stand - 5 minutes at room temperature or 1 hour or more in refrigerator. 4. Heat griddle or pan, medium heat. Grease lightly and pour batter in. Cook until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles are on top. Flip and do same with second side.

I'm wheat intolerant and I've had millet bread from the local health food store. Millet is selectively bred for livestock fodder. It's not reputed to be delicious. The millet bread I've had was somehow sweeter than wheat bread and I was surprised that it tasted pretty good. I still prefer the heavy 100% rye bread from Germany or Denmark I occasionally find in stores. |
