Two cups of all-purpose flour
1.5 teaspoons of baking soda
one teaspoon of salt
one cup of milk
Two teaspoons of either melted butter or vegetable oil
Poppy seeds, sesame seeds, grated cheese, and herbs are optional garnishes.
Instructions:
Get your skillet hot.
Preheat a nonstick frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat as you make the bread dough.
The dry ingredients should be mixed together in a bowl. Add the salt, baking powder, and all-purpose flour. To make sure everything is mixed equally, stir the items well.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and vegetable oil (or melted butter) to add the wet components. To make a soft dough, combine the ingredients using a spoon or spatula. Mix gently to avoid clumping.
Flour your hands and the area you’ll be working on lightly. Shape the dough. Place the dough on the floured surface and, using gentle strokes, knead it for one minute, or until it gathers and loses its stickiness.
Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough into a circular shape, about 1/2 inch thick, using your hands or a rolling pin. Mini skillet breads are another option, or you may divide the dough into smaller amounts and shape them individually.
Preheat a pan and carefully place the flattened dough inside. Cook the bread according to package instructions. To get a golden brown color and fully cooked bread, heat for 5 to 7 minutes each side. If you want your bread to cook through without burning, just cover the pan.
Toppings Can Be Added If Desired:
In the last few minutes of cooking, top the bread with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, grated cheese, or herbs if you want. Both the taste and the appearance of your skillet bread will be enhanced by this.
Transfer the bread from the pan to a cutting board when it is cooked to perfection; serve warm. Cut into squares or wedges when it has cooled a little. Top with your preferred spreads—butter, jam, honey, nut butter—and enjoy warm.
Achieving Your Goals:
Spice up your dough with some herbs and spices like rosemary, dried oregano, garlic powder, or onion powder for an added burst of flavor.
A spoonful of honey or sugar may be added to the dough for a sweeter loaf.
If you’re looking for a healthy or allergy-friendly alternative, try using whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour.
Inadequately stocked skillet? Toast the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until it becomes golden and is cooked through.
