Description
This stove top bread recipe is perfect for those who want fresh, homemade bread without using an oven. Made with simple ingredients and cooked in a skillet or covered pan, the result is a soft, fluffy loaf with a golden crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Slowly add the warm water and olive oil while stirring to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
- Place the dough back into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- After rising, punch down the dough and shape it into a round or oval loaf that will fit in your skillet or pan.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or heavy-bottomed pan with a lid over low heat. Lightly oil the bottom of the pan, then place the dough inside.
- Cover with the lid and cook over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes on one side. Flip the bread carefully and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- This bread is great for small kitchens or hot days.
- Experiment with adding herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
