Craving fresh, homemade bread but don’t want to use the oven? This easy stovetop bread recipe is a fantastic alternative. It’s delicious, filling, and perfect when an oven isn’t available.
Ingredients:
-
2 cups warm milk
-
5 tablespoons butter
-
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
-
1 teaspoon dry yeast
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
5 cups all-purpose flour
-
2.5 to 3 liters water
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy—this means the yeast is active.
Add salt, oil, and flour to the mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. Adjust with more flour or milk if needed to get a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until it feels elastic and smooth.
2. Let It Rise:
Lightly grease a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Prepare to Cook:
Bring 2.5 to 3 liters of water to a boil in a large pot and add a teaspoon of salt.
