This easy stovetop bread is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to turn on the oven. Soft, golden, and delicious, it’s made with simple ingredients and cooked on the stove for a quick and satisfying homemade bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F or 45°C)
  • 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.
    • Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure to use low heat to avoid burning the bread.
  • The bread can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
