Skillet Flatbread

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup salted butter

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir with a fork until a soft dough forms. Add a little flour if necessary.
  3. Knead for 1 minute in the bowl while adding flour to prevent sticking.
  4. Cover with a clean cloth. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place, away from drafts (in the microwave oven, for example).
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into two 20 cm (8 in) diameter discs.
  6. In a cast iron skillet, heat half the butter and cook one bread over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
