This study presents an innovative approach for automating the traditional injera production process, a staple food in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, and the Horn of Africa. Existing semiautomatic and manual methods suffer from inefficiencies, inconsistent product quality, and significant health risks owing to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and smoke. These limitations necessitate the development of more effective solutions. The proposed method involves the design and implementation of a fully automated injera‐making machine that integrates a relay‐based control system, microcontroller‐driven temperature regulation, and automated dough‐handling mechanisms. This novel design ensures consistent baking conditions, minimizes manual intervention, and enhances baker safety. The experimental results demonstrate that the machine can produce 20 injera per hour, reflecting a 33.33% increase in efficiency compared to traditional methods. In addition, the system reduces the energy consumption through precise temperature control to address sustainability concerns. This research offers a comprehensive solution to the challenges of traditional injera production, significantly improving both the production process and well‐being of those involved. Future work will focus on optimizing the design for mass production and exploring alternative energy sources to enhance sustainability further.
