Annebabero
Utensils
Medium mixing bowl, medium pizza pan, small bowl
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. wheat flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp. red pepper (berbere) or red pepper paste (awaze)
- 1 cup butter or oil
- 4 cups water (lukewarm)
Preparation
Add wheat flour to lukewarm water and rub with your fingers to form a pancake-like mix. Add baking powder and salt, mix well. Spread in a round pizza pan and bake over a low heat for 50 minutes; remove and set aside. Make a second crust of the same size and in the same way. Before the second crust is well-done, pour some of the butter (about 1/2 cup) on it, spread and put the first crust on top (like a sandwich). Repeat this process until you run out of the first cup of the butter. In a small bowl, mix remaining butter or oil with red pepper and spread lightly over the hot crusts. Make sure that both sides are spread evenly. Cut in small squares or pizza slices to serve. Should make about 4 annebaberos. Cover and store in a cool place. Serve hot or cold.
Annebabero is a delicious snack or appetizer.
