I've been honing the art of making chapati—the soft unleavened savory flatbread commonly served alongside meals in several East African nations—since my childhood in Kenya and I’ve been fortunate to pick up many tips and tricks from various family members along the way. The cooking process for chapati is relatively simple in theory: A one-bowl dough is mixed by hand, rested briefly, rolled, shaped, and cooked for just a few minutes on the stovetop. But I know from experience that it can take a bit of practice to nail the right technique to get this unleavened savory flatbread pillowy-soft and filled with flaky layers. | |||

Injera
Injera is a spongy, sour, fermented flatbread that is a staple food in Ethiopia and Eritrea, serving as both a plate and an eating utensil for scooping up stews (wats). Traditionally made from teff flour, it has a unique texture with characteristic "eyes" from fermentation, and is used to soak up the flavors of the dishes served on top. While 100% teff injera is gluten-free, many recipes mix teff with other flours like barley or wheat for a milder flavor and lower cost.
