Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Optional: 1–2 tablespoons chopped herbs or seeds for flavor
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar or honey, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
- Make a small well in the center and pour in warm water and vegetable oil. Stir to form a rough dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf for even cooking.
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it.
- Place the dough in the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 10–12 minutes on one side.
- Flip the bread carefully and cook for another 10–12 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Optional: Add herbs, seeds, cheese, or spices to the dough for extra flavor.
Notes
Make sure the skillet is not too hot; medium-low heat prevents burning while allowing the bread to cook evenly.
Resting the dough is essential for soft, fluffy bread.
Customize with herbs, seeds, or sweet flavors like cinnamon for variety.
