Breads

Injera (Ethiopia)

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 until smooth and then cover. Allow to stand at room temperature for 24 hours. 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 servings.

Lavosh (Armenian unleavened flat bread)

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup water

1 egg white

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 egg whites, beaten

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, stir together, flour, sugar and salt. Add water, 1 egg white and melted butter; mix well to make a stiff dough. Knead until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes. Divide dough into 10 balls. Roll each ball on lightly floured surface until paper thin. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until browned.  Makes 10 servings.
