Description

Soft, fluffy stovetop sesame bread with a golden, nutty crust. No oven required, just a skillet for bakery-style results at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Place a heavy skillet with a lid on the stove over medium-low heat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, then stir in flour, salt, and olive oil until a soft dough forms.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly oil the skillet or line with parchment if preferred.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Shape dough into a round loaf, brush with milk or water, and sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Place dough in the skillet, cover with lid, and cook on low heat for 20–25 minutes per side, turning carefully, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let the bread rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it fluffy.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice warm, spread with butter, or pair with your favorite dish.

Notes

  • Keep the lid closed during cooking for fluffier bread.
  • If unsure, tap the bread – it should sound hollow when cooked.
  • You can prepare the dough ahead and refrigerate overnight.
