Teff bread

Rashawnda K. (Q&A ID 3993)

I want to make a teff yeast bread but can not find a recipe. I can only find traditional African bread recipes with a heavy amount of teff flour. I want to use a cup or less of teff grain in a basic yeast wheat bread recipe, to achieve a flecked bread. Can you tell me how I could alter a recipe or recommend one please.

Hi Rashawnda - If you're looking to make a basic wheat bread recipe and incorporate teff flour, I would use whatever recipe for wheat bread that you like and start with substituting 25% teff flour for the wheat flour. If that isn't enough teff flour for your taste, you can go up to 50% and still maintain the same basic structure of the original bread recipe. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
