Craving homemade bread but don’t have an oven? No problem! You can make delicious white bread right on your stovetop with this simple recipe. Here’s how you can enjoy fresh, warm bread without ever needing an oven.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for greasing the pan)
• Extra flour for dusting

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

• In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

2. Mix the Dough

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a bit more water.

3. Knead the Dough

• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
