No-Oven Stovetop Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
•2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
•1 tsp salt
•1 tbsp sugar
•1 tbsp instant yeast
•1 cup warm water (around 110°F/45°C)
•1 tbsp olive oil (plus a little extra for the pan)
Instructions:
1.Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until the dough comes together.
2.Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3.Let it Rise: Form the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4.Shape the Bread: Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Cover it again and let it rest for 10 minutes.
5.Preheat the Pan: Place a heavy-bottomed pan or pot with a lid (like a Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet) on the stove over medium heat. Let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
6.Cook the Bread: Grease the preheated pan lightly with a bit of olive oil, then place the dough into the pan. Cover with the lid and cook on low to medium heat for about 15 minutes.
7.Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the bread over and cook for another 10-15 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
8.Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
