Make Your Own Injera

Injera, a sourdough-risen flatbread with a slightly spongy texture, is a fundamental component of any Ethiopian or Eritrean meal. In fact, this bread is so central to this cuisine, that it is the national dish of those countries! Injera is traditionally made with flour from teff; a tiny and ancient grain native to the area of modern-day Ethiopia that is packed with protein, fiber, and nutrients. In this hands on class with instructor Mimi Selam, you’ll learn the multi-stage (but still amazingly simple) process for making this delicious and nutritious sourdough flatbread at home. You’ll also cook a simple dish to accompany your freshly made bread. You’ll leave class with the skills to make your own injera to enjoy with your favorite Ethiopian or Eritrean recipes or to experiment with other uses for this versatile bread! Injera burrito anyone? Note: This class is NOT gluten free.
