INSTRUCTIONS
One bag is the amount quoted. It usualy suffices for 500 Gr flour. I
do not know how many grams it is, about 1 Tbs. The following recipe is
from "Laisha" - a Hebrew womans weekly and is based on the cook in a
Phalashi (thats an Ethiopian Jew) restaurant in the central station in
Tel-Aviv. I tried the food there and liked it a lot. I have more
Ethiopian recipes, and will translate them if there is interest. (from
Amhari via Hebrew to English ). Enjoy! Put the flour in a deep bowl.
Add the yeast and baking powder . add water gradualy while stirring
until you get a smooth batter. Keep for 3 days at (Ethiopian) room
temperature. stir every four hours. Heat a frying pan (25-30 cm
diameter) and oil with 2-3 Tbs oil. Pour batter to form a layer at
least 1/2 cm thick. Cover and fry for 2-3 minutes. When the bread
starts to lift at the edge and solidifies at the lower side, turn it
over. You get a kind of soft and porous pita. Wet with water the
lower side of the pan and oil the inner side before each bread. Gad
