🍞 Stovetop Skillet Bread (No Yeast, No Oven!)
(Makes 1 small loaf)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
- 1 tbsp sugar (or honey)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup plain yogurt (or buttermilk)
- ¼ cup water (adjust as needed)
- 1 tbsp oil (or melted butter)
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions:
1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients:
- Stir in yogurt, water, and oil until a soft dough forms (add more water if too dry).
3️⃣ Knead & Shape:
- Lightly flour a surface, knead dough 2-3 mins until smooth.
- Shape into a round loaf (~1-inch thick).
4️⃣ Cook on Stovetop:
- Heat a lidded skillet (non-stick or cast iron) on low-medium heat.
- Place dough in skillet, cover, and cook 10-12 mins until bottom is golden.
- Flip, cover, and cook 8-10 mins more until hollow when tapped.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve:
- Let rest 5 mins, then slice. Best warm with butter, jam, or soup!
🌟 Tips & Variations:
- Herb Bread: Add 1 tsp dried herbs (rosemary, thyme) to the dough.
- Cheesy Twist: Mix in ½ cup shredded cheddar.
- Sweet Version: Replace sugar with 2 tbsp honey + 1 tsp cinnamon.
❓ Why It Works:
- Yogurt acts as a leavener for a quick rise.
- Low-and-slow heat ensures even cooking without burning.
