Here’s a quick and easy no-oven bread recipe you can make in about 10 minutes on the stovetop! It’s a simple flatbread — soft, warm, and perfect for dipping or sandwiches.
Stovetop Quick Flatbread (No Oven)
Ingredients:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
-
1/3 cup water (warm)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil (or any cooking oil)
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
Optional: pinch of baking powder (for a bit fluffier bread)
Instructions:
-
Mix dough: In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder (if using). Add the warm water and olive oil. Stir until it comes together.
-
Knead: Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Divide & roll: Divide the dough into 2-3 balls. Roll each ball out into a thin circle or oval (about 1/8 inch thick).
-
Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Place one flatbread in the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form and the underside is golden.
-
Flip: Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden spots appear and it’s cooked through.
-
Serve: Keep warm by wrapping in a clean towel. Serve with dips, use as wraps, or enjoy plain.
Tips:
-
You can add herbs, garlic powder, or spices into the dough for extra flavor.

These bread flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be reheated quickly on the stovetop.
