Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon baking powder in a mixing bowl, creating a dry ingredient base for your quick bread.
- Pour 1 cup water into the flour mixture, stirring gradually to form a cohesive dough that pulls away from the bowl’s sides.
- Knead the dough gently on a clean surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Separate the dough into 6-8 equal portions, rolling each into a compact ball.
- Using your palm, press each ball into a flat disc about ¼ inch thick.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat (350°F) for 2-3 minutes, ensuring an even cooking surface.
- Place a dough disc into the heated skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the bottom develops golden-brown spots.
- Flip the bread and cook the opposite side for an additional 3-4 minutes, watching for similar golden coloration.
- Transfer the cooked bread to a cooling rack, allowing excess heat to dissipate before serving.
Notes
- Knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten and create a soft, stretchy texture for your bread.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes after mixing to help it become more elastic and easier to shape.
- Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan to prevent sticking and achieve an even golden-brown crust.
- Experiment with adding herbs like rosemary or garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor and variety in your quick stovetop bread.
