If you're a bread lover, you know that nothing beats the smell of freshly baked bread. However, making bread at home can be a daunting task, especially if you don't have access to an oven or yeast. But don't worry, there are still ways to make fluffy bread at home without these ingredients. In this blog, we'll show you how.
Ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Tools:
Mixing bowl
Spoon
Measuring cups and spoons
Cast iron skillet with a lid
Parchment paper
Kitchen towel
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
Add the milk and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit more milk. If the dough is too wet, add a little bit more flour.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
Roll out each piece of dough into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Line the skillet with parchment paper.
Place one of the dough circles in the skillet and cover with the lid.
Cook the bread for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it's golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining dough circles.
Tips:
- To make the bread more flavorful, you can add herbs or spices to the dough.
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet with a lid, you can use a regular skillet and cover it with a lid or a large pot.
- Make sure the skillet is preheated before adding the dough to it.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet with too many pieces of dough at once.
Conclusion:
Making fluffy bread at home without an oven or yeast is possible with this simple recipe. With just a few ingredients and tools, you can enjoy freshly baked bread in no time. The key is to use a cast iron skillet with a lid to create a mini oven that traps the steam and helps the bread rise. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and enjoy the delicious smell of freshly baked bread in your home!
