Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose or bread flour
- 1 tsp active dry or instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water
- Optional: 1 tsp olive oil, pinch of salt, herbs, or seeds for flavor/topping
Instructions
- Mix Dough: In a bowl, combine flour, yeast, and warm water. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

Notes
- Use bread flour for a chewier texture, all-purpose for softer bread.
- Adjust water slightly if dough is too sticky or dry.
- Keep heat moderate to cook evenly without burning.
- Cover skillet to trap steam, mimicking an oven.
- Dough can be mixed ahead and stored in fridge up to 12 hours.
- Optional add-ins: garlic, cheese, or herbs for variety.
- Freeze cooked bread wrapped in foil for up to 2 months; thaw and reheat before serving.
