No-Oven Stovetop Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional for a hint of sweetness)
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk for a vegan version)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like rosemary or oregano) - optional for flavor
- Cooking spray or additional oil for the pan

Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and dried herbs (if using) until well combined.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk and olive oil together until well blended.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Prepare Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or the additional olive oil.
5. Cook the Bread: Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly across the surface. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the top appears set and small bubbles form.
6. Check for Doneness: Carefully flip the bread over using a large spatula or plate (if needed) and cook for an additional 5 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve: Transfer the bread onto a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly. Cut into wedges or slices and serve warm, drizzled with olive oil or accompanied by your favorite dips.

Notes
- Flavor Variations: Add garlic powder, shredded cheese, or chopped olives for a different flavor profile.
- Storage: Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Cooking Tip: Ensure your skillet isn't too hot to prevent burning – a lower and slower approach yields the best results!
