Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- non-stick skillet or pot with lid
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 7 g active dry or instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1–1.5 cups warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Gradually add warm water and mix until a sticky dough forms. Stir in olive oil if using.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape dough into a round or oval loaf. Cover and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place dough inside, cover with a lid, and cook for 10–15 minutes.
- Flip the bread, cover again, and cook for another 10–15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Notes
Keep the heat at medium-low to avoid burning. Always cook with a lid to trap steam and ensure even cooking. Bread is done when the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
