5 Ingredients Bread in a Pan: the Easy Recipe Ready in No-Time!

We always love a good flatbread. They’re versatile and such a delicious addition to any meal. But don’t think that it takes a lot of effort. Making them from scratch is easier than you might think. This 5 Ingredient Bread in a Pan is made without yeast and instead uses baking soda and yogurt as rising agents. Pan-baking the flatbread gives it a crispy crust, and you don’t need an oven. These breads are perfect for dipping, wrapping, or simply enjoying on their own. Serve them with hummus, soup, or a rich, saucy stew. It’s the perfect side dish for any meal!

Tips

• If you want to make smaller breads, you can do so by dividing the dough into smaller pieces.
• You can also use this dough to make pizza! Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best results.
• A heavy-bottomed pan (like cast iron) will work best for this recipe as it retains heat well. This is necessary for the thick flatbreads to be cooked thoroughly.
• The thickness of the buns determines the texture! Thinner buns will be crispier, while thicker buns will be slightly chewier and fluffier.
• For a stretchy cheese, use mozzarella instead of cheddar.

How to Store 5 Ingredient Bread in a Pan

Store the cooked bread in an airtight container (at room temperature) for up to two days.

Can You Freeze 5 Ingredient Bread in a Pan

The unbaked bread can be frozen. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for two hours. Then transfer to a resealable plastic bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Cook in a hot pan.
