Instant Teff Bread

Instant Teff Bread

This is easily one of the easiest breads to bake and it is so yummy and healthy that it sounds too good to be true. The only hassle would be to get the teff grains or flour. I got lucky with one of my old clients who lives in Ethiopia. So it's her gift to me one her annual visits



Ingredients
Teff flour - 1 cup
Water - 1.5 tbsp (to form thickish brownie like batter)
Coconut oil or butter - 2 tbsp
Dried herb mix – 1 to 2 tsp
Egg - 1
Salt - 2 pinches
Baking powder - 1 heaped tsp
Apple cider vinegar - 1 tsp
Coconut oil or butter for frying - 1 tbsp


Method
Beat an egg well
Add apple cider vinegar and beat again
Combine flour, baking powder and other dry ingredients well
Add the egg mixture and mix
Add water to adjust consistency to a brownie like batter
Rest it for about 10 mins till you see bubbles in the batter
Preheat a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp coconut oil, olive oil or butter on medium flame
Spread the batter on the pan and fry on one side until it rises a bit
Cover and after 2 to 3 minutes, flip and repeat on the other side.
Take off the pan and cut into wedges or slices
 Use it to make sandwiches or dip into soups
Serve warm straight off the oven
Store the remains and heat it again in the oven before eating or toast them the next day
