- Mix dry: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add wet: Stir in yogurt, milk, and oil. Mix until a soft dough forms (add 1–2 tbsp milk if too dry).
- Shape: Press dough into a thick round (about 1/2 inch thick) or divide into 2–4 smaller flatbreads.
- Cook: Heat a nonstick skillet on medium. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Brush with butter and enjoy warm.
Total time: 5 minutes (especially if you make 2–4 small flatbreads—they cook faster).
✅ Option B: 3–5 Minute Microwave Bread
- Mix: In a mug or small bowl, stir flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add wet: Add milk and oil. Mix until smooth (no dry flour).
- Microwave: Cook 60–90 seconds (microwaves vary). If still wet, add 10–15 seconds more.
- Cool: Let sit 1 minute, then loosen and slice.
Serving and Storage:
- Best served: warm, right away.
- Serve with: butter, honey, jam, garlic butter, soup, eggs, or cheese.
- Storage: wrap leftovers and keep at room temp for 1 day or fridge for 2 days.
- Reheat: skillet 30 seconds per side or microwave 10–15 seconds.
Tips:
- Don’t overmix: quick breads stay tender when mixed just until combined.
- For fluffier bread: use fresh baking powder.
- Want it buttery? brush melted butter on both sides after cooking.
- Flavor upgrades: add garlic powder, Italian herbs, cheddar, or sesame seeds.
Variations:
- Garlic herb: add 1/2 tsp garlic powder + 1 tsp dried herbs.
- Cheese bread: mix in 1/3 cup shredded cheese.
- Sweet version: add 1–2 tbsp sugar + 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
- Whole wheat: replace half the flour with whole wheat flour (add a splash more milk).
Conclusion:
This 5-minute bread is the quickest way to get warm homemade “bread” on the table without yeast or waiting. Make it in a skillet for
the best flavor, or use the microwave version when you need an instant fix. Either way, you’ll have something soft, comforting, and
perfect for spreading, dipping, and snacking.
FAQ:
Is this real yeast bread?
No—this is a quick bread/flatbread that uses baking powder instead of yeast, so there’s no rise time.
Can I make it without yogurt?
Yes. Replace yogurt with sour cream, or use extra milk plus 1 tsp lemon juice (it won’t be as tender, but still works).
Why is my bread dense?
Overmixing or old baking powder can make it dense. Mix gently and check your baking powder freshness.
