We Don’t Buy Bread Anymore! Bread Without an Oven
Say goodbye to store-bought bread and hello to homemade goodness! In this article, we’ll guide you through the simple steps of making bread without an oven. With just a few basic ingredients and a pan, you can enjoy fresh, warm bread straight from your kitchen.
Gathering Ingredients
- Plain Flour: 400 grams
- Water: 220 milliliters
- Instant Yeast: 6 grams
- Sugar: 2 teaspoons
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Cumin: 1 teaspoon
- Vegetable Oil: as needed
Mixing the Dough
- STEP: Begin by mixing warm water with sugar and instant yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved.
- STEP: Sift plain flour into the yeast mixture, then add salt and cumin. Knead the ingredients by hand until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Kneading and Rising
- STEP: Grease your work surface and hands with oil to prevent sticking. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- STEP: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until it doubles in size.
Preparing the Pan and Dough
- STEP: Grease a large pan with oil and transfer the risen dough into it.
- STEP: Spread the dough evenly over the surface of the pan using your fingers. Cover the pan with a towel and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
Pan-Frying the Bread
- STEP: Place the pan on the stove over low heat and cover it with a lid. Allow the bread to fry until golden brown on the bottom.
- STEP: Once the bread comes off the bottom of the pan easily, flip it with the help of a plate and cook the other side until golden brown as well.
Serving and Enjoying
Congratulations, your bread is ready! Remove it from the pan, let it cool for a bit, and serve it just like you would regular bread. Whether you enjoy it plain, with butter, or alongside your favorite dish, this homemade creation is bound to delight your taste buds!
