A thin Ethiopian-style flatbread with a tangy flavor and a porous surface, made by letting a loose buckwheat batter ferment for several hours. Traditionally, it is placed under other foods and eaten by hand.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the batter

10 min

Whisk the buckwheat flour, water, fresh yeast, and lemon juice until you have a smooth, loose batter.

2

Let the batter ferment

180 min

Cover the mixture and let it ferment at room temperature for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, until slightly bubbly.

3

Add the salt and cook

10 min

Stir the salt into the fermented batter. Pour a thin layer into a hot, greased large skillet, cover, and cook until holes form on the surface and the edges puff up.

Reminder

Important: Let the batter rest for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, to ferment; a shorter rest will not develop its characteristic tangy flavor. Allergen note: this recipe contains no wheat, but cross-contamination may occur in the same kitchen.

Malzemeleri bir gece önceden hazırlayıp bekletebilir miyim?
