Making bread in 10 minutes without an oven is quite challenging, as traditional bread requires time for proofing and baking. However, you can make a quick flatbread or a simple bread-like recipe that doesn’t require proofing or baking. Here’s a basic recipe for a stovetop flatbread:Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously, until a dough forms. You may need to adjust the amount of water slightly to achieve the right consistency.
- Knead the dough lightly in the bowl for about a minute until it comes together into a smooth ball.
- Divide the dough into smaller portions, depending on how many flatbreads you want to make.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If using, brush the surface lightly with olive oil.
- Roll out each portion of dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle or oval shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Carefully place the rolled-out dough onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through, with a few bubbles forming.
- Repeat with the remaining portions of dough, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the skillet and serve immediately, or keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.
- Serve the flatbreads plain or with your favorite toppings, such as hummus, cheese, or sliced vegetables.
While this flatbread won’t be like traditional yeast bread, it’s a quick and easy alternative that you can make in just a few minutes on the stovetop. Enjoy your homemade flatbreads!
