- Nonstick Skillet or Frying Pan
- Spatula
Ingredients
Main Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk or yogurt
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or butter
- 1 to 1½ cups grated cheese mozzarella, cheddar, or mix
- chopped garlic, chili flakes, or herbs optional, for flavor
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk (or yogurt), egg, and oil or melted butter.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Gently fold in grated cheese and optional flavorings like herbs or garlic.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each into a small round or oval disc (½-inch thick).
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each bread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed. Cover with a lid for extra fluffiness, if desired.
- Serve warm on its own or with dips, soups, or as a sandwich base.
Notes
Experiment with mix-ins like chopped scallions, parsley, or jalapeños. This bread is best fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or toaster.
