Ethiopian Injera

Serves/Makes: 14 loaves | Ready In: > 5 hrs
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
5 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
1 teaspoon honey
3 cups finely ground millet flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
This is the staple bread of Ethiopia. It is traditionally made with teff, a very finely milled millet flour. Regular millet flour from a health food store will work fine.
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.
