Injera is a flat pancake-like, sour and delightfully adictive bread that is a staple in the East African countries of Eritrea and Ethiopia. This food has been featured in a number of movies, sitcoms and recently the Simpsons. More and more are discovering it, and producers of the ingredients needed to make Injera have set up businesses across the United States. | Injera is a flat pancake-like, sour and delightfully adictive bread that is a staple in the East African countries of Eritrea and Ethiopia.

=====Soft and Layered Chapatis===== | |||

Chapatis or ‘chapos’ as we call them in our part of the world – the awesome part of the world, are a perfect partner to stews and curries as well as grilled meats. They’re great for breakfast – fry an egg, add grated carrots, sliced onions, peppers and wrap in a chapati – The Ugandans call this a ‘Rolex” LOVE IT! So if you make chapatis and by chance some are left, you know what to make the next day 😉 | |||
Now a few tips, from my humble experience. Vegetable oil, ghee and crisco work well in this recipe – i have tried olive oil so if you do, let me know how that goes. I had once had this bright idea to try using butter and lets just say…we ate frisbees that night! So don’t try to use butter. | |||
The water you use should be warm | |||
=====Sabaayad===== | |||

Sabaayad (also known as kimis, ceesh, or Somali chapati) is a traditional Somali, slightly sweet, and unleavened flatbread that is a staple in Somali, Djiboutian, Ethiopian, and Kenyan cuisine. It is characterized by a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a soft, flaky, and layered interior, similar to a paratha. | |||
=====Puff Puff===== | |||
[https://www.thekitchn.com/puff-puff-recipe-23214757 by the kitchen] | |||
Many countries around the world have their own version of fried dough. In Nigeria, it’s puff puff, a yeast-based fried dough that, as its name suggests, puffs up as it fries. The golden, bite-sized spheres have a soft, fluffy interior and a slightly crisp exterior. They’re a popular street food, as well as one of our staple small chops, or finger foods. At many parties, you’ll be served a variety of small chops like puff puff, samosas, and spring rolls to give you something to snack on. | |||
Making puff puff dough couldn’t be simpler: It’s just water, flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and, most importantly, nutmeg. I love the nutmeg in the dough; its rich, warm flavor comes through in every bite. The fritters are a bit sweet but not sugary, meaning they can be served any number of ways — with pepper sauce or chili oil for a savory snack, or sprinkled with powdered sugar or rolled in cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat. My favorite way to eat them is plain and piping-hot. | |||

Agege bread is a popular, iconic Nigerian bread known for its exceptionally soft, stretchy, and airy texture, slightly sweet flavor, and ability to stay fresh for several days. Originating from the Agege suburb of Lagos State, it is traditionally baked in lidded, rectangular metal pans.

Baghrir, often referred to as "thousand hole pancakes" or Moroccan crepes, are a traditional North African pancake hailing from the Maghreb region, particularly popular in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. They are distinct for their spongy, honeycomb-like texture, which is achieved by cooking them on only one side, allowing yeast-produced bubbles to create hundreds of tiny holes on the surface. | |||
