Description
Learn how to make delicious and fluffy homemade bread right on your stovetop, without the need for an oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm water (100-110°F)
- 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm water with a pinch of sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture, mixing with a spoon before kneading by hand.
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Shape the dough into a loaf or rounds and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed pan on low-medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in the pan, cover with a lid, and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Check for doneness by tapping the bottom for a hollow sound.
Notes
Use a trivet or heat diffuser to avoid direct contact with high heat and ensure even cooking. Cover the lid with a towel if needed to absorb excess moisture.
