How to Make Bread in a Frying Pan

If you like the idea of freshly baked bread, but you just don't have the time to mix, roll and knead, try making a quick batch of bread in the frying pan. It's delicious, takes only a few minutes to put together and cook, and the smell will fill your house like old-fashioned bread.

Things You'll Need

• Flour (white, whole wheat, rye, buckwheat)
• Water
• Sugar

Instructions

1. Place a small amount of all purpose flour in a bowl. If desired, add equal parts of buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour or any other flour of your choice.

2. Add enough salt to the flour to flavor.

3. Stir in enough tap water to make a soft dough. Knead it in your hands like play dough, and form it into a round, thin shape.

4. Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan and cook the bread in the hot oil for a few minutes on each side. Don't turn the heat too high, because the bread will cook on the outside, but not in the middle. It should take at least 5 to 6 minutes per side.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want your bread to rise, substitute warm water for cold tap water, and stir a package of active dry yeast into the warm water. Allow it to dissolve, and add the flour as directed.

• Add a dash of baking powder if you like, but go easy, because although it will made the bread lighter, it can also add a bitter flavor.

• If the top of the bread isn't brown enough to suit you, place it under the broiler for a few minutes. Watch it carefully, because it can turn from brown to black very quickly.
