Easy & Delicious Pan Bread
Warm, soft, and crusty all at once — this pan bread is your daily companion. Straight from pan to table in no time, it carries the homely comfort of fresh loaf baking into any mealtime.
Ingredients
- 400 g flour
- 250 g water
- 1 sachet dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Gradually add the water while kneading until you form a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Shape the dough into a ball, lightly coat it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for 30–35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, lightly grease a deep pan with olive oil.
- Once the dough has risen, knead it lightly and place it in the greased pan. Cover it with a lid and allow it to rise again.
- When the dough has risen, gently press it to spread it evenly across the pan.
- Turn the heat to low and cook the bread in the covered pan for 10–15 minutes on each side.
- To flip the bread, grease a round plate with olive oil to prevent sticking and flip it like an omelet.
- Once both sides are cooked, turn off the heat and let the bread rest for 10 minutes. It’s now ready to enjoy!
The Appeal of Pan Bread
No need for fancy shaping: bake directly in a pan for an even rise, soft crumb, and reliable crust. It’s forgiving, practical, and perfect for everyday use.
Tips for Pan Bread Success
Use a well-greased or lined pan. Let the dough rise until doubled. Score the top for better expansion. Bake covered early, then uncovered to crisp the crust.
