Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 teaspoon sugar
  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  5. 3/4 cup warm water (110°F or 45°C)
  6. 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Let It Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  • Shape the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Divide it into 2–4 equal portions, depending on the size of bread you prefer. Shape each portion into rounds or ovals.
  • Cook on the Stovetop: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over low heat. Lightly grease the pan with a few drops of oil. Place one portion of dough in the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the bread and cook the other side for another 5–7 minutes, covered, until golden and cooked through.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can make this recipe with various toppings such as garlic butter or cheese for added flavor.
  • For larger bread portions, use fewer portions of dough when shaping.
  • If the bread isn’t cooking fast enough, slightly increase the heat, but be careful not to burn it.
