Stovetop Bread Without an Oven

Components:

1. Two cups of all-purpose flour
2. One spoonful of baking powder
3. Half a teaspoon of salt
4. One tablespoon of optional sugar
5. 3/4 cup water or milk
6. Two teaspoons of melted butter or olive oil

Directions:

Combine the dry ingredients:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using) in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly by whisking.

Add the moist ingredients:

• To the dry ingredients, add the milk and olive oil (or melted butter). Until a dough forms, stir. Add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky, and a little more milk if it’s too dry.

Work the dough by kneading it:

• After lightly flouring a spotless surface, knead the dough for one to two minutes, or until it is smooth. Give it ten to fifteen minutes to rest.

Form the bread:

• Form the dough into flat circles that are about 1/2 inch thick after dividing it into 4–6 equal halves.

Stovetop Cooking:

• A skillet should be heated to medium heat. Place the dough rounds in the skillet once it’s heated; you might need to cook them in batches. Put a lid on and heat until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes on one side.
• After flipping, cook for a further five to seven minutes, or until the bread is cooked through and the other side is golden brown.

Serve:

• Before serving, take it out of the skillet and let it to cool a little. Savor your warm bread from the stovetop with jam, butter, or your favorite foods!

Advice:

• For added taste, you might incorporate cheese, herbs, or spices into the dough.
• Any bread that is left over can be kept for a few days at room temperature in an airtight container.
