Preparation Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt and dry yeast. Add the warm water gradually by stirring with a wooden spoon or directly with your hands. Once the dough is formed, add the vegetable oil and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes, until you have a soft and homogeneous dough.
Step 2: Let it rest briefly
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. This short resting time is enough for the yeast to loosen the dough slightly and make it easier to spread.
Step 3: Divide and Form the Loaves
Divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal parts depending on the size you want. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten them by hand or with a rolling pin to form patties about 1cm thick.
Step 4: Pan Cooking
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with oil and place the patties with dough. Bake each loaf for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until nicely browned on the outside and cooked through. Cooking may vary slightly depending on the thickness.
Step 5: Serve hot
Once baked, transfer the buns to a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep them fluffy and warm until serving.
Tips and suggestions
To make your fluffy bread in a pan:
Use warm water, between 35 and 40°C, to activate the yeast without killing it.
Do not overcrowd the pan. Bake the buns in batches if necessary so that they cook evenly.
Cover the loaves with a tea towel after cooking to preserve their softness.
Side dish ideas:
Serve this bread with cream cheese, hummus or hot soup.
It is also perfect for making homemade sandwiches, Lebanese filled breads or even mini pizzas in express version.
For a sweet version, add a spoonful of honey or jam on top while it’s still warm.
