Injera spoils quickly, forcing home cooks to choose between waste or stale bread

Home cooks and Ethiopian food enthusiasts struggle to keep injera fresh beyond a few hours, as this fermented flatbread degrades rapidly in texture and taste. Current storage methods (plastic bags, refrigeration, freezing) either accelerate staleness or compromise the bread's traditional spongy quality. People are actively searching for better preservation techniques because they either waste expensive homemade batches or serve subpar bread to family and guests.
