Servings: 4 loaves
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet version)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1/2 cup water (plus 1-2 tablespoons more if needed)
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar if using.
- Add the melted butter or oil and half a cup of water. Stir gently until the dough comes together. If it’s a bit dry, add another tablespoon or two of water.
- Form the dough into a rough ball. No kneading marathons here—just get it cohesive.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it.
- Flatten the dough slightly and place it in the pan. Cover with a lid.
- Let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown.
- Flip it, cover again, and cook another 4-5 minutes until both sides are crisp and the center is cooked through.
- Cool for a minute, then slice, slather with butter, or just tear off chunks with your hands like a wild bread-loving creature.
