No-Bake Stovetop Flatbread
A quick and easy flatbread recipe perfect for bread lovers who want to master no-bake methods and creative shaping techniques, resulting in fluffy, delicious bread cooked entirely on a stovetop.
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoon olive oil plus more for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin, round flatbread, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if needed.
- Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, until puffed and golden brown spots appear.
- Remove from pan and serve warm.
Notes
Experiment with herbs like rosemary or garlic powder in the dough for added flavor. Serve hot with dips, curries, or as a wrap. Ensure your pan is hot enough for a good sear but not smoking. Adjust flour or water as needed for dough consistency. You can also brush with melted butter and fresh herbs after cooking.
