FRYING PAN BREAD (SKILLET FLATBREAD) - NO YEAST

Steps:

• Add the dry ingredients (i.e. flour, salt, sugar, baking powder & herbs) to a large mixing bowl. Mix dry ingredients together. This helps to spread out the baking powder and prevents small pockets of baking powder being found in the finished bread.
• Soften butter in a microwave.
• Add wet ingredients (i.e. milk and melted butter) to the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly with a large spoon.
• Use your hands to knead the dough together for 1 or 2 minutes in order to create a nice ball of dough.
• Sprinkle some flour on a cutting board in order to prevent the dough sticking to the cutting board (when you roll out the dough).
• Place the dough of the cutting board.
• Sprinkle a small amount of flour on top of the dough (in order to prevent the dough sticking to the rolling pin).
• Use a rolling pin to roll the dough flat. The dough should be no more than 1/8 inch high.
• Use a large cookie cutter (or small cake ring) to create circular flatbreads. Or cut the dough with a knife diagonally & vertically (in a tic-tac-toe fashion) in order to create square flatbreads. Use tips below for more information on shaping the skillet flatbread.
• Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil or butter to a frying pan.
• Heat the frying pan with low/medium heat (halfway between the low and medium setting on your range dial).
• Place the flatbread dough in to the frying pan. The amount of flatbread that can fit in your frying pan depends on the size of the frying pan & flatbreads.
• Flip all of the flatbreads in the pan every minute in order to prevent burning. Remove the flatbreads from the frying pan when golden brown on both sides. It should take only 2-4 minutes to fry each batch of flatbread (so you need to watch the frying pan carefully... don't step away from the pan or they will burn).
• Add another 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil or butter to the frying pan when you fry a new batch of flatbreads.
• Place the skillet flatbread on a wire cooling rack.
• Serve while still warm.

FRIED CORNBREAD (SOUTHERN STYLE)

Steps:

• Mix first two ingredients to make a batter --- add more or less water depending on how thick or thin you want your cornbread patties. The best way would be to mix in small amounts of water at a time to get the consistency you want.
• In a skillet or frying pan bring oil up to medium heat and test 1/2 teaspoon drop of batter, You do not want it to fry too fast. I normally cook mine on #6 and then furn down to #5 on my stove. Drop by tablespoons full and pat out with back of spoon to make a pattie. Turn over when bottom is light brown.
• Serve and enjoy this tasty bread!

PAN FRIED BREAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together yeast, lukewarm water, half the flour, sugar, and salt; let stand 10 minutes so that the yeast can start to ferment.
• Stir in the buttermilk and the remainder of the flour.
• Place a moist cloth over the dough and let rise for 20 minutes; the dough will still be a bit sticky.
• Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat.
• Drop a spoonful of dough in the pan, that has been lightly greased; spread the dough out and fry for 3 minutes on each side.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
