Here’s a simple 20-Minute Homemade Bread recipe soft, quick, and perfect for when you’re short on time but craving fresh, warm bread. This is more like a quick flatbread or skillet bread, since traditional yeast breads need rising time.
🥖 20-Minute Homemade Skillet Bread (No Yeast)
Ingredients:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat)
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
3/4 cup warm water (plus 1–2 tbsp more if needed)
-
2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
Instructions:
-
Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms. If too dry, add a splash more water. -
Knead Briefly
Turn dough onto a floured surface. Knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Don’t overwork it. -
Divide and Shape
Divide dough into 4–6 pieces. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into a round disk about 1/4-inch thick. -
Cook in Skillet
Heat a skillet (non-stick or cast iron) over medium heat. Brush lightly with oil. Cook each bread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and puffed, with a few dark spots. -
Serve Warm
Serve hot with butter, garlic spread, or alongside soup or curry.
Optional Add-ins:
-
Herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)
-
Grated cheese (for cheesy bread)
-
Minced garlic or onion powder
