A Short History
Before ovens were common, people all over the world made bread on hot stones, pans, and griddles. From flatbreads in the Middle East to skillet breads in Europe and Asia, no-oven bread is one of the oldest cooking traditions. This recipe is inspired by those simple, timeless methods—basic ingredients, simple tools, and incredible results.
Why This Recipe Works (The Science / Formation)
No yeast needed: Baking powder creates tiny air bubbles that make the bread soft and light.
No oven needed: Direct heat from the pan cooks the dough evenly.
Simple hydration: The right balance of liquid and flour creates a flexible, tender dough.
Resting the dough: Allows the flour to absorb moisture, improving texture.
This combination makes the bread reliable, forgiving, and perfect every time.
Ingredients
(Makes 6–8 flatbreads)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil (olive oil or vegetable oil)
¾ cup warm milk or water (add gradually)
Extra flour for dusting
Optional additions
Garlic powder
Dried herbs
Grated cheese
Yogurt (replace part of the milk for extra softness)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the oil and slowly pour in the warm milk or water.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
Cover and let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes.
Divide into small balls.
Roll each ball into a flat circle.
Heat a dry pan over medium heat.
Cook each bread for 1–2 minutes per side until golden spots appear.
Remove and cover with a cloth to keep warm.
