Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying​

Instructions
 

  • Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, milk, and beaten egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add more flour one tablespoon at a time.
  • Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  • Shape the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf or divide it into smaller portions.
  • Second Rise: Cover the shaped dough with a towel and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
  • Cook the Bread: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Place the dough in the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes. The bread should sound hollow when tapped.
  • Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the skillet and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving.​
