Ingredients
Scale
- For the dough:
- 5 cups flour
- 2 cups warm milk
- 1 cup of oil (vegetable or canola)
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- For boiling the dough:
- 2.5 – 3 liters of water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Stir it well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until a frothy top appears, signaling that the yeast is activated.
- Add flour, oil, and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir until it forms a dough. If it’s too sticky or dry, adjust with a little extra flour or milk until you get a smooth, doughy texture.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Let the Dough Rise:
- Grease a bowl, place the kneaded dough inside, and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare for Boiling:
- In a large pot, bring 2.5 to 3 liters of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
- Shape and Boil the Bread:
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into balls or any shape you like.
- Drop the shaped dough pieces into the boiling water, a few at a time. Let them boil for 1-2 minutes until they puff up and float to the surface.
- Cook on Stovetop:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the boiled bread pieces on the skillet.
- Cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Press gently with a spatula for even cooking.
- Serve:
- Serve your stovetop bread warm with butter, jam, or any topping of your choice. Enjoy the fresh and fluffy bread!
Notes
- You can shape the dough into different forms such as small rolls, flatbreads, or even a loaf depending on your preference.
- To add flavor, try sprinkling some garlic powder, herbs, or cheese into the dough before boiling.
- If you don’t have a skillet, a griddle or non-stick pan will work just fine.
- The bread is best served fresh, but you can also store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
