Ingredients
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
2¼ tsp instant yeast
-
1 tbsp sugar
-
1 tsp salt
-
1¼ cups warm water
-
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (plus more for greasing)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually mix in warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. -
First Rise:
Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. -
Shape and Rest:
Punch down dough and shape into a round or oval loaf. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes. -
Stovetop Cooking:
Preheat a heavy-bottomed non-stick or cast iron skillet over low-medium heat. Lightly grease it. Place dough in the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 10–15 minutes per side, flipping when golden brown. -
Check Doneness:
Tap the bread—if it sounds hollow, it’s done. Or check for an internal temp of 190°F (88°C). -
Cool and Serve:
Remove from pan, cool on a wire rack, and slice to serve.
Notes
-
For an herby twist, add chopped rosemary or thyme to the dough.
-
For a richer crust, brush with garlic butter before cooking.
-
Whole wheat option: Substitute up to half the flour with whole wheat flour.
-
Store at room temp for 2 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in skillet or microwave briefly.
