Millet looks like bright yellow mustard seeds, but when cooked, the
seeds explode into pale yellow puffs. When fresh, it tastes mildly sweet
with a slight alkaline aftertaste. You may find it sold as "proso" (the
Latin name) in stores.



Ethiopian Injera

This is the staple bread of Ethiopia. It is traditionally made with
teff, a very finely milled millet flour. Regular millet flour from a
health food store will work fine.

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
5 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon honey
3 cups finely ground millet flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of the millet water. Allow to proof and
add the remainder of the water and the flour. Stir untilsmooth and then
cover. Allow to stand at room temperature for 24hours.
Stir the batter well and mix in the baking soda.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup
of the batter into the pan in a spiral pattern to cover the bottom of
the pan evenly. Tilt the pan to quickly even out the batter. Cover the
pan and allow to cook for about 1 minute. The bread should not brown but
rather rise slightly and very easy to remove. It is cooked only on one
side. This top should be slightly moist. Remove to a platter and cool.
Stack the cooked breads on a plate. Makes 14 very small loaves
