Soft Homemade Skillet Flatbread Pita Style
If you’re looking for a quick, soft, and fluffy flatbread without using an oven, this skillet pita-style bread is perfect. It’s simple, budget-friendly, and pairs well with almost any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add the warm water and olive oil, then mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, divide the dough into small equal balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, similar to pita bread.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place one flatbread in the hot pan and cook for about 1–2 minutes until bubbles form. Flip and cook the other side until lightly golden.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Tips for Best Results
Make sure your skillet is hot before cooking to help the bread puff slightly.
Do not over-flour the dough while rolling, as this can make the bread dry.
Keep cooked flatbreads covered with a clean cloth to maintain softness.
Serving Ideas
These soft flatbreads are perfect for wraps, sandwiches, or dipping into sauces. You can serve them with grilled meats, vegetables, or spreads like hummus.
They also work great as a quick alternative to store-bought bread.
Simple, fresh, and delicious—this skillet flatbread is a recipe you’ll want to make again and again.
