No-Oven Stovetop Bread

Soft, Fluffy, and Ready in Minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour: The base for your bread.

  • 1 tsp Baking Powder: This provides the lift since we aren’t using yeast.

  • 1/4 tsp Salt: To balance the flavors.

  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter: Melted (plus a little extra for the pan).

  • 1/2 cup Milk: Helps create a tender crumb.

  • 1 Egg: Acts as a binder and adds richness.

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter together.

  3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; you want the batter to be thick but smooth.

  4. Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan with a small pat of butter and place it over low heat.

  5. Cook: Pour the batter into the center of the pan, spreading it slightly into a circle. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid—this traps the steam and helps the bread rise.

  6. Flip: Cook on low for about 8–10 minutes. Once the bottom is golden brown and the top looks “set” (not liquidy), carefully flip the bread over.

  7. Finish: Cover again and cook for another 5 minutes until the second side is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

  8. Serve: Remove from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes. Top with a fresh pat of butter while it’s still warm!

Why this works for your routine:

  • Efficiency: No waiting for dough to rise and no heating up the whole kitchen with a large oven.

  • Freshness: You can make exactly one portion’s worth of fresh bread whenever the craving hits.

  • Versatility: You can easily make this savory by adding a pinch of garlic powder or sweet by adding a dash of cinnamon to the flour.
