Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Basic Ingredients:
  • 3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ teaspoons of active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of warm water
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Optional Ingredients for Flavor Variations:
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar for a slightly sweet bread
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped herbs e.g., rosemary, thyme
  • ¼ cup of grated cheese

Method
 

Preparing the Dough:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Proofing the Dough Without an Oven:
  1. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. For quicker proofing, place the bowl in a warm water bath.
Cooking the Bread on the Stovetop:
  1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Once hot, place the dough in the skillet and cover with a lid.
  3. Cook for 10-15 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Notes

  • Ensure your skillet is preheated for even cooking.
  • For added flavor, incorporate optional ingredients like herbs, cheese, or sugar.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
