If you’re tired of store-bought bread and don’t have an oven, this no-oven bread recipe is perfect for you. It’s a simple and satisfying recipe that requires minimal ingredients. Once you try it, you might never go back to store-bought bread again. This method uses a stovetop cooking approach, so anyone without an oven can make it. Here’s how:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (not necessary if using self-rising flour)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup water (adjust as needed for dough consistency)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for cooking)

Equipment:

• Mixing bowl
• Skillet with a lid (preferably non-stick or cast iron)

Instructions:’

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder (if using), and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the baking powder and salt evenly through the flour.

2. Add Water and Oil:Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and half of the water. Start mixing, gradually adding the remaining water until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Adjust the water or flour as necessary.

3. Knead the Dough:Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes, covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.

4. Divide and Shape:After the resting time, divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the size of bread you want. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about 1/2-inch thick.

5. Cook the Bread:Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one dough disc in the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until golden brown and puffed up, then flip and cook the other side, covered, for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough discs, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Tips for Perfect No-Oven Bread:

• Consistent Heat: Maintain a medium heat to ensure the bread cooks through without burning. Adjust the flame as necessary.
• Use a Lid: Covering the skillet helps create an oven-like environment, ensuring the bread cooks through and puffs up properly.
• Serving Suggestions: Enjoy this bread warm with butter, use it for sandwiches, or pair it with your favorite dips and spreads.

Conclusion:

This no-oven bread recipe is not only a fun and satisfying baking project but also a practical solution for those without access to an oven. It’s quick, easy, and yields incredibly delicious bread that’s versatile enough for any meal. Give it a try, and you may discover a new favorite that’s both delightful and convenient.
