Description

These little single-serving loaves of bread are easy to make and you don’t need any yeast! You can make this in a bowl or a food processor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/3 cup warm water
  • (Rosemary or other herbs, optional.)

Instructions

Bowl Method:

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
  2. Stir in the olive oil and water until mixed.
  3. Warm a large cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet over medium heat until heated.
  4. Sprinkle with olive oil and swirl around the pan to lightly coat.
  5. Shape the dough into 4 small patties.
  6. Drop into the heated skillet and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side.
  7. You can sprinkle them with rosemary or other herbs while they’re cooking.
  8. Serve immediately.

Food Processor Method:

  1. In a food processor, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend for 10 seconds.
  2. While running the food processor on low, slowly add in the olive oil and water.
  3. Blend for 30 seconds or until a dough starts to form. (You’ll be able to tell; it’ll start to clump up.)
  4. Warm a large cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat.
  5. Sprinkle with olive oil and swirl around the pan to lightly coat.
  6. Shape the dough into 4 small patties.
  7. Drop into the heated skillet and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side.
  8. You can sprinkle them with rosemary or other herbs while they’re cooking.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

This olive oil bread is best served right away, but you can make it a day in advance if needed.
