BREAD in a Pan WITHOUT an Oven! Homemade Delicious Bread. Recipe for White Bread

Ingredients:

  1. Three cups of all-purpose flour
  2. One spoonful of sugar
  3. One tsp salt
  4. 1 packet containing
  5.  1/4 teaspoons dry yeast that is active
  6. One cup of heated (about 110°F or 43°C) water
  7. Two teaspoons of olive oil (plus more for pan greasing)
  8. Additional flour for dusting

Method:

ENSERT THE YEAST.
Mix the yeast, sugar, and warm water together in a small basin. Once the mixture starts to foam, give it a little stir and let it rest for five to ten minutes.
2. BLEND THE DOUGH

Flour and salt should be combined in a large mixing dish. Create a well in the middle and pour in the olive oil and yeast mixture.
Stir to make a dough. A little more flour should be added if the dough is too sticky. Give it a little extra water if it’s too dry.
3. CRACK THE DOUGH
Transfer the dough to a surface that has been lightly floured. Work the dough for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it becomes elastic and smooth.
4. AWAKEN THE DOUGH
After the dough has doubled in size, put it in a bowl that has been oiled, cover it with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm location for approximately an hour.
5. FORM THE DOUGH
Punch down the dough to release the air once it has risen. Transfer the mixture onto a dusted surface and form it into a round loaf or divide it into smaller sections for single rolls.
6. WARM UP THE PAN
Over medium-low heat, preheat a big, heavy-bottomed skillet or nonstick pan. Apply a thin layer of olive oil to the pan.
7. GRILL THE BREAD
Transfer the dough to the hot pan. To produce an oven-like atmosphere, cover with a lid or foil.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 8-10 minutes on the other side. When tapped, the bread should sound hollow and be golden brown.
8. REFRIGERATE AND SERVE
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing. Warm up your handmade bread and top it with your preferred toppings!
