Description
Soft, fluffy homemade bread cooked entirely on the stovetop—no oven needed.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet bread)
2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
¾ cup warm water (plus more as needed)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
Add olive oil and warm water, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–6 minutes until smooth.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces and roll each into a circle about ¼ inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
Cook each bread round for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
Swap all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
Best served fresh, but can be reheated in a skillet or toaster.
