SKILLET BREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the water, yeast and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• In another bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir with fork until a soft dough forms. Add a little flour if necessary.
• Knead for 1 minute in the bowl while adding flour to prevent sticking.
• Cover with a clean cloth. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place, away from drafts (in the microwave oven, for example).
• On a floured surface, roll out the dough in two 20 cm (8 in) in diameter discs.
• In a cast iron skillet, heat half the butter and cook one bread over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread. Cut into wedges and serve hot.

FRIED SKILLET BREAD

Steps:

• Sift 4 cups flour with baking powder and salt.
• Combine milk and melted butter.
• Place flour/baking powder mixture in large bowl and gradually add liquid ingredients, beating well.
• When the mixture has been worked into a soft dough, lightly flour a board with part of the remaining flour.
• Turn out dough onto board and knead lightly, working in remaining flour.
• Divide dough into 3 parts and shape each into a round pone about 1/8 inch thick and a diameter to fit skillet.
• Pour enough oil in skillet to measure about 1/4 inch deep.
• Heat oil and brown each loaf quickly, one at a time until golden on both sides.

SKILLET FLATBREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and chives and process for 5 seconds to combine. Add the shortening and process until well combined, about 15 seconds. Add the milk and 2 tablespoons water. Process to bring the dough together.
• Remove from the processor and knead 1 minute to form a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet until very hot. Divide the dough into 3 pieces and form each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough in a 6 1/2-inch-diameter circle to less than 1/16 inch thick. Prick the dough with a fork, brush with the olive oil, and sprinkle with the kosher salt. Transfer the round of dough, with the oiled side down, to the hot skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the surface is covered with golden to dark brown speckles. Remove the bread from the skillet and transfer to a baking sheet in a warm oven.
• Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough. Cut the bread into wedges with a pizza wheel or sharp knife and serve.

SKILLET GARLIC FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; add butter and crush into the flour mixture with hands until it resembles breadcrumbs.

• Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel and let sit for 20 minutes.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over-medium high heat.
• Roll out one of the dough discs to about the size of your skillet. Cook in hot skillet until golden and puffy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough portions.

• Roll out dough to a 6-by-12-inch rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into nine 2-by-4-inch rectangles. Transfer to a floured surface. Let stand, covered with a kitchen towel, in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
