How to Make No-Oven Stovetop Bread
Making No-Oven Stovetop Bread is simple! Just follow these easy steps:
Ingredients:
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F or 45°C)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a soft dough forms.
