This recipe shows you how to make delicious bread without needing an oven, perfect for situations where oven access is limited.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
- Optional: 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
- Optional: Herbs, seeds, or spices for flavor (e.g., rosemary, sesame seeds, garlic powder)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the yogurt or buttermilk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Add melted butter or olive oil if using, and mix until incorporated.
- Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
- Shape the Bread: Form the dough into a round or oval shape, about 1 inch thick. Optionally, sprinkle herbs, seeds, or spices on top and gently press them into the surface.
- Cook on Stovetop: Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the shaped dough onto the dry skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. You can cover the skillet with a lid to help the bread cook evenly.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the bread to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spreads.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your homemade stovetop bread as a delicious accompaniment to soups, stews, or simply as a snack.
