Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup water (adjust as needed, start with 1/2 cup)
-
1 tablespoon oil or melted butter (for the dough)
-
Butter for greasing the pan & serving (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
1️⃣ In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
2️⃣ Gradually add water while stirring to form a soft dough. You may need slightly more or less water — stop when the dough is soft but not sticky.
3️⃣ Add 1 tablespoon of oil or melted butter and knead briefly to combine.
Step 2: Shape the Bread
4️⃣ Shape the dough into a smooth ball. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes (optional but helps make the bread fluffier).
Step 3: Cook on the Stovetop
5️⃣ Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over low to medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
6️⃣ Place the dough ball into the skillet. Flatten slightly with your hand or a spatula to about 1-inch thick.
7️⃣ Cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 8–10 minutes on one side, until golden and puffed.
8️⃣ Flip carefully, cover again, and cook another 6–8 minutes until the bread is cooked through and golden on both sides.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
9️⃣ Brush the hot bread with butter for shine and flavor.
Slice and serve warm — perfect with soups, eggs, jam, or as a quick side bread!
Tips & Variations
✅ Add herbs or cheese to the dough for a savory version.
✅ Use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
✅ Adjust cooking time based on your skillet and stove — cook low and slow for best results.
