Skillet Garlic Bread Recipes

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.
• Mix hot water and garlic into the flour mixture until it all comes together into a dough; turn out onto a cutting board dusted with flour. Knead dough 3 or 4 times. Cut dough into 10 pieces, roll into balls, and flatten into discs.
• 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.

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.
