Quick 10 Minute Bread: Soft, Fluffy, and Made Right on Your Stovetop

Optional Add-Ins:

• Herbs – Rosemary, thyme, or oregano
• Garlic powder – For savory flavor
• Cheese – Grated Parmesan or cheddar
• Everything bagel seasoning – For topping

The Method: Mix, Shape, Cook, Devour

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• Flour
• Baking powder
• Salt

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Pour in milk and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

Step 3: Knead Briefly

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes, just until it comes together. Do not over-knead—this isn’t yeast bread.

Step 4: Shape

Form the dough into a round disk about ½-inch thick. You can also divide into smaller rounds for individual servings.

Step 5: Heat the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a little butter or oil.

Step 6: Cook

Place the dough in the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.

Step 7: Flip

Flip the bread, cover again, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the other side is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 8: Serve

Remove from the pan and let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or as a sandwich base.

Pro-Tips for Bread Perfection

1. Don’t Overwork the Dough
This is quick bread, not yeast bread. Knead just until combined—overworking makes it tough.

2. Use Medium-Low Heat
Too high heat burns the outside before the inside cooks. Low and steady wins.

3. Cover While Cooking
The lid traps steam, helping the bread cook through without burning.
