How to Make Ethiopian Injera- Ferment Teff Flour


This is how I make Injera. Make sure all of the water that goes into this is warm- not too hot not too cold. this process of fermentation takes 5 days in total but nutritiously filling!

In the video I put the salt and baking powder while fermenting. I’ve been getting a lot of spiteful comments that this should not be done this way, so I tried…

  1. Actually you don't have to add yeast and baking powder
    You can mix small amount teff powder with water and live it for 2 or 3 days. And use that as a yeast . I mean, add teff, water and barley to the mixture that you left for two days.

  2. 1. Do not add music to a demo, tour, DIY, cooking show, or animal video. It is a big mistake. It hurts the ears and drowns out natural sounds which we need to hear. You will chase away subscribers if you add music to any of these.

    2. Salt and yeast are NEVER added together, as salt prohibits yeast growth. A pinch of sugar makes yeast work fast. Salt is added at end of any fermentation to stop it going further.

    3. Don't use a metal fish/ omelet spatula on a non stick Teflon coated pan. You will ruin your pan and flakes of Teflon in your food. Use that wooden spatula you were using for stirring. For stirring, use a metal spoon and rubber spatula.

    4. ETHIOPIAN, not ETHEOPIAN.

    5. Injera is made usually from Teff flour only, not barley. That is the authentic Ethiopian Injera sourdough crepe/ bread. Baking soda is never added. You had to add this because you added salt at the start which ruined the fermentation.

    Fix your recipe and techniques before you teach others. This would have been a great video if you had removed music and done it right. Thanks.
